The `typed_ast` parsers produce the standard Python AST (plus type comments),
and are both fast and correct, as they are based on the CPython 2.7 and 3.7
parsers. `typed_ast` runs on CPython 3.6-3.10 on Linux, OS X and Windows,

`typed_ast` does not support Python 3.8 or higher code. Use the `ast`
module from Python 3.8 or above for that.
**Note:** The `ast` module of Python 3.8+ supports all features of `typed_ast`.
`typed_ast` does not support parsing code that uses syntax introduced in
Python 3.8 onwards.
We recommend using `ast` on Python 3.8 or above.
