pyccel.ast.utilities module

Module containing utility functions which are used in the syntactic, semantic, and code-generation stages of Pyccel. These include functions for handling imports, checking whether an operation is compatible with the target language, and collecting code into loops. Most of these functions are used in multiple places in the code and are not specific to any one stage, so they are collected together in this module to avoid circular imports.
