Problems Faced This Week

• I didn't face any major problems this week.

Plans For Upcoming Week

• Most of the major AST nodes are implemented now. I plan to rigorously test the new parser to its limit by parsing python files from some of the major Python projects' repos such as SymPy and NumPy.
• Comparing the AST generated by the new parser from that of the existing parser would let us know the changes to be made in the current parser generator file.
