I tried this patch:

diff --git a/Python/ast.c b/Python/ast.c

             string doc = s->v.Expr.value->v.Str.s;
             /* not very efficient, but simple */
-            memmove(&asdl_seq_GET(stmts, 0), &asdl_seq_GET(stmts, 1),
-                    (stmts->size - 1) * sizeof(void*));
-            stmts->size--;
+            //memmove(&asdl_seq_GET(stmts, 0), &asdl_seq_GET(stmts, 1),
+            //        (stmts->size - 1) * sizeof(void*));
+            //stmts->size--;
             return doc;
         }
     }

But I got "SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file".

docstring is very special while it looks like just a single string literal statement...
