[New-bugs-announce] [issue38870] Expose ast.unparse in the ast module

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com>:

As discussed in https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/JAQDBMC23HW2PQ27HQNJ7G244T423IDD/ I propose to expose the unparse.py tool as part of the standard library in the ast module.

The exposed function will have the interface:

ast.unparse(ast_obj, *, option1, option2,...)

and will return a string with the unparsed version of ast_obj.

The unparse tool will need some cosmetic improvements that will be tracked separately in this issue.
