+This module exports four classes which together provide an interface
 to the parser module.  Together, the three classes represent two ways
 to create parsed representations of Python source and the two starting
 data types (source text and tuple representations).  Each class
 provides interfaces which are identical other than the constructors.
 The constructors are described in detail in the documentation for each
 class and the remaining, shared portion of the interface is documented
