+this module annotates Python abstact syntax trees (ASTs) with the
+positions of tokens and text in the source code that generated them
+
+It makes it possible for tools that work with logical AST nodes to find
+the particular text that resulted in those nodes, for example for
+automated refactoring or highlighting.
+
+It works with Python3 and can annotate both trees built by
+ast, and those built by astroid.
+
+This (source) is downloaded from pypi.org/projects/asttokens as the
+github site may not have a complete sourcecode zip.
