parser module and doc

[Steven D'Aprano]

I'm reading the docs for the parser module and I'm confused.

http://docs.python.org/library/parser.html

The doc make a number of references to the file "example.py", and says:

"All source files mentioned here which are not part of the Python
installation are located in the Demo/parser/ directory of the
distribution."

http://docs.python.org/library/parser.html#information-discovery

What distribution? What does this actually mean?


The page also talks about "public classes" ClassInfo, FunctionInfo and
ModuleInfo, but they don't exist:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ModuleInfo'


Where are these public classes?

What distribution? What does this actually mean?

The source distribution, as obtained by downloading and unpacking
one of the source tarballs from (e.g., for Python 2.6):

http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.1/

The page also talks about "public classes" ClassInfo, FunctionInfo and
ModuleInfo, but they don't exist:

I think they're defined in the Demo/parser/example.py file.
