beniget.beniget.Ancestors

Build the ancestor tree, that associates a node to the list of node visited from the root node (the Module) to the current node >>> import gast as ast >>> code = 'def foo(x): return x + 1' >>> module = ast.parse(code) >>> from beniget import Ancestors >>> ancestors = Ancestors() >>> ancestors.visit(module) >>> binop = module.body[0].body[0].value >>> for n in ancestors.parents(binop): ... print(type(n)) <class 'gast.gast.Module'> <class 'gast.gast.FunctionDef'> <class 'gast.gast.Return'>
