json2ast 1.0.1

The opposite of ast2json

json2ast

The JSON to Python AST converter you never knew you needed

Description

This package is meant to work in the opposite direction of the ast2json package which takes a Python AST object as input and produces a JSON structure as output. The one function, json2ast expects a Python dictionary created by ast2json and returns a replication of the AST objects used to create that dictionary.

Example

import ast
from ast2json import ast2json
from json2ast import json2ast

tree = ast.parse(open("test_scripts/test0.py").read())
json_tree = ast2json(tree)

ast_tree = json2ast(json_tree)
