Python Code Introspection and Analysis

I am trying to write a Python code analyzer, and I am trying to avoid having to parse bare Python text files. I was hoping that once the Python compiler/interpreter parses the code there's a way to get to the object code or parse tree from within a running Python program.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thank yo开发者_C百科u

A combination of ast and tokenize should provide the necessary framework for what you want to do.

You can take a look at Python's abstract syntax trees.
