AST Objects
-----------

Ordered and equality comparisons are supported between AST objects.
Pickling of AST objects (using the `pickle' module) is also supported.

`ASTType'
     The type of the objects returned by `expr()', `suite()' and
     `sequence2ast()'.

AST objects have the following methods:

`compile([filename])'
     Same as `compileast(AST, FILENAME)'.

`isexpr()'
     Same as `isexpr(AST)'.

`issuite()'
     Same as `issuite(AST)'.

`tolist([line_info])'
     Same as `ast2list(AST, LINE_INFO)'.

`totuple([line_info])'
     Same as `ast2tuple(AST, LINE_INFO)'.
