Python_AST_Creator

============

Description

A basic python package that takes a path to a directory as an argument and creates AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) files from found python files. The program searches the directory and all of it's subdirectories for python files (*.py) and then creates an AST from the code in the file. The program creates a file containting the plaintext of the created AST in the same directory as the found file, with the name *.py.ast.
