Jeremy Hylton 7cff7fe21f Many changes.
Reformatting -- long lines, "[ ]" -> "[]", a few indentation nits.

Replace calls to Node function (which constructed ast nodes) with
calls to actual constructors imported from ast module.

Optimize com_node (most frequently used method) for the common case --
the appropriate method is found in _dispatch.

Fix com_augassign to use class object's rather than node names
(rendered invalid by recent changes to ast)

Remove expensive tests for sequence-ness in com_stmt and
com_append_stmt. These tests should never fail; if they do, something
is really broken and exception will be raised elsewhere.

Fix com_stmt and com_append_stmt to use isinstance rather than
testing's type slot of ast node (this slot disappeared with recent
changes to ast).

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

bgen		Generate complete extension modules from a
		description.  Still under development!

compiler        A Python source to bytecode compiler written in
                Python, including an interface for manipulating
                abstract syntax trees.  Still under development.

faqwiz		FAQ Wizard.
		See http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/cgi-bin/faqw.py
		for a live example.

freeze		Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

modulator	Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension
		module.  Works easiest if you have Tk.

scripts		A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
		(by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing
		of tabs and spaces.

unicode		Tools used to generate unicode database files for
		Python 2.0 (by Fredrik Lundh).

versioncheck	A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest
		version of a package (by Jack Jansen).

webchecker	A link checker for web sites.
