The authors mentions completed transformation on a 150,000 line codebase. When you ask about scale, what concerns do you have in mind?

The author mentions that transformation back to source from ast, of course, doesn't include format information. However, python's ast include source line numbers, which they use to only rewrite the portions of the file affected by their rewrite.
