When parsing a string with an invalid escape, the old parser used to
point to the beginning of the invalid string. This commit changes the new
parser to match that behaviour, since it's currently pointing to the
end of the string (or to be more precise, to the beginning of the next
token).
`ast.parse` and `compile` support a `feature_version` parameter that
tells the parser to parse the input string, as if it were written in
an older Python version.
The `feature_version` is propagated to the tokenizer, which uses it
to handle the three different stages of support for `async` and
`await`. Additionally, it disallows the following at parser level:
- The '@' operator in < 3.5
- Async functions in < 3.5
- Async comprehensions in < 3.6
- Underscores in numeric literals in < 3.6
- Await expression in < 3.5
- Variable annotations in < 3.6
- Async for-loops in < 3.5
- Async with-statements in < 3.5
- F-strings in < 3.6
Closeswe-like-parsers/cpython#124.
This implements full support for # type: <type> comments, # type: ignore <stuff> comments, and the func_type parsing mode for ast.parse() and compile().
Closes https://github.com/we-like-parsers/cpython/issues/95.
(For now, you need to use the master branch of mypy, since another issue unique to 3.9 had to be fixed there, and there's no mypy release yet.)
The only thing missing is `feature_version=N`, which is being tracked in https://github.com/we-like-parsers/cpython/issues/124.
This commit also allows to pass flags to the new parser in all interfaces and fixes a bug in the parser generator that was causing to inline rules with actions, making them disappear.
