Python supports keyword arguments in its
superclasses: (argument_list …), which somehow modify the superclass. The stanza capturing superclasses was erroneously capturing these keyword arguments as superclasses themselves as well, which would then cause an error upon emitting the edge:The fragment of the parsed Tree-sitter tree for such a superclass argument list with keyword arguments is:
As of v0.23.5 of the Python grammar, the
superclassesfield is indeed anargument_listsyntax node, which in turn can contain either anexpressionor akeyword_argument(among other things), andexpressionin turn can be a whole host of types of syntax nodes.Explicitly capturing only
identifierandattribute(which are dotted identifier chains likefoo.bar) syntax nodes fixes the issue. This is possibly too strict, since technically any expression can be used here, but it likely captures the vast majority of cases out there.
