Chapter 14: Generating Code from AST
In this chapter, we will learn how to use ASTs in Python to generate code for various applications. We will apply these abstract syntax trees to metaprogramming to implement automatic code generated in this chapter.
Automatic code generation is one way of making the life of a programmer easier. An abstract syntax tree is an excellent functionality that can help us generate code in a much simpler way.
The concept of AST is discussed with examples in Chapter 9 of this book. In this chapter, we will be tapping the advantages of ASTs to generate code automatically. Code generation can be implemented to enable no-code or limited coding while developing applications. In this chapter, we will continue to use the ...
