Summary of brief discussion on #python-dev: - This is a hacky patch; it would be better to rewrite that portion of ast.c in a way that doesn't modify the original CST at all. With 2.7 so close, I daren't try anything more invasive than this patch, though. (I don't know whether there are any other portions of this file that deliberately change the CST.) - Given that no-one noticed this problem in 5 years, the fix can probably wait until 2.7.1, when it can be done properly.
