astcheck

========

astcheck compares Python Abstract Syntax Trees against a template. This is

useful for testing software that automatically generates or modifies Python code.

Installation::

    pip install astcheck

Example use:

.. code:: python

    import ast, astcheck

    template = ast.Module(body=[

        ast.FunctionDef(name='double', args=ast.arguments(args=[ast.arg(arg='a')])),

        ast.Assign(value=ast.Call(func=ast.Name(id='double')))

    ])

    sample = """

    def double(a):

        do_things()

        return a*2

    b = double(a)

    """

    astcheck.assert_ast_like(ast.parse(sample), template)

Only the parts specified in the template are checked. In this example, the code

inside the function, and the assignment target (``b``) could be anything.
