Usage

There is no difference in usage between ast and ast-comments

>>> import ast_comments as astcom
>>> tree = astcom.parse("hello = 'hello' # comment to hello")

Parsed tree is instance of the original ast.Module object

>>> tree
<_ast.Module object at 0x7ffba52322e0>

Any "statement" node of the tree has comments field

>>> tree.body[0].comments
('comment to hello',)
>>> astcom.dump(tree)
"Module(body=[Assign(targets=[Name(id='hello', ctx=Store())], value=Constant(value='hello', kind=None), type_comment=None, comments=('comment to hello',))], type_ignores=[])"
