#152 Understanding and using Python's AST

Talk Python To Me - A podcast by Michael Kennedy

Categories:

Have you heard about ASTs? Maybe that was in the context of compilers or parsers? They are an powerful data structure that we all use but often indirectly. They are just an, well, abstract idea to most of us.

This week, you'll meet Emily Morehouse. She is here to make this abstract concept much more concrete and discuss places where the AST can help us write and maintain better code.
