[issue29646] ast.parse parses string literals as docstrings

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

If someone wants to parse a simple expression that may be a string he should use the "eval" mode.

>>> ast.dump(ast.parse("'test'"))
"Module(body=[], docstring='test')"
>>> ast.dump(ast.parse("'test'", mode='eval'))
"Expression(body=Str(s='test'))"
