GAST provides a compatibility layer between the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) of various Python versions, as produced by ast.parse from the standard ast module. NOTE: Unable to support newer versions than 0.5.5 due to breaking python/python3-pythran. python3-pythran cannot be updated further due to breaking academic/python3-scipy, which can't be updated due to an older Cython in Slackware 15.0.
