AST is containing a node from past that is explained as "not really an actual node but useful in Jython's typesystem.". There is no usage of it anywhere in the CPython repo, just some code in ast_optimizer, symbol table and compiler to forbid it from running. If there is not any specific reason to keep it, we can just remove and clean some code.

I am not sure there have any relation with jython's python.asdl?

Jython uses the reference grammar and ASDL as a way to ensure it is Python we approximate, not some subtly different language. The presence of Suite here gives rise to a class (https://github.com/jythontools/jython/blob/v2.7.2b3/src/org/python/antlr/ast/Suite.java) and we actually use instances of it in the compiler (https://github.com/jythontools/jython/blob/v2.7.2b3/src/org/python/compiler/CodeCompiler.java#L2389).

It is a bit of a wart, to have a Jython-specific type here: somewhat defeating the object of using the same source. I expect there was a good reason: perhaps there was no better way to express the commonality between Interactive and Module. It was all before my involvement.

I would try to avoid needing it in Jython 3, and if we can't, it doesn't look hard to manage the variation our copy. It's not like we copy these files mechanically from from CPython during a build.

+1 on removing it.

Jeff Allen: thanks for the useful feedback on how it's used in Jython!
