A pure Python ast parser

Would help get to #19.

In particular, a parser that generates commonast. My best bet is on using something based off libpy2to3. pyjs has one. There is also a js-based Python parser. Pygments has a good tokenizer, on top of which we could build an ast producer. Also see this discussion: davidhalter/jedi#630

This is a task that can very well be picked up by a contributor. You'd not need to know much about Flexx' internals. There are also quite a few tests in place for verifying that the ast generated from certain Python code is correct.
