5618.1.6.1 Emulation of <tt class="function">compile()</tt></A>

59<P>
60While many useful operations may take place between parsing and
61bytecode generation, the simplest operation is to do nothing. For
62this purpose, using the <tt class="module">parser</tt> module to produce an
63intermediate data structure is equivalent to the code
64
65<P>
66<div class="verbatim"><pre>
67&gt;&gt;&gt; code = compile('a + 5', 'file.py', 'eval')
68&gt;&gt;&gt; a = 5
69&gt;&gt;&gt; eval(code)
7010
71</pre></div>
72
73<P>
74The equivalent operation using the <tt class="module">parser</tt> module is somewhat
75longer, and allows the intermediate internal parse tree to be retained
76as an AST object:
77
78<P>
79<div class="verbatim"><pre>
80&gt;&gt;&gt; import parser
81&gt;&gt;&gt; ast = parser.expr('a + 5')
82&gt;&gt;&gt; code = ast.compile('file.py')
83&gt;&gt;&gt; a = 5
84&gt;&gt;&gt; eval(code)
8510
86</pre></div>
87
88<P>
89An application which needs both AST and code objects can package this
90code into readily available functions:
91
92<P>
93<div class="verbatim"><pre>
94import parser
95
96def load_suite(source_string):
97 ast = parser.suite(source_string)
98 return ast, ast.compile()
99
100def load_expression(source_string):
101 ast = parser.expr(source_string)
102 return ast, ast.compile()
