Cause (Documented platform behavior): Python 3.14 removed these deprecated aliases of ast.Constant and the Constant.n/.s properties; visit_Num etc. are no longer dispatched.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Only fixing the AttributeError: visitors with visit_Num/visit_Str keep 'working' but silently skip literals
Limitations:
- Error text via WebFetch summarizer of rgthree-comfy#775
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/main/Doc/whatsnew/3.14.rst (release_notes, 2025-10-07, documented_behavior): 3.14 removed ast Bytes, Ellipsis, NameConstant, Num, Str (aliases of Constant since 3.8, warnings since 3.12); visit_Num etc. no longer called; Constant.n/.s removed.
- https://github.com/rgthree/rgthree-comfy/issues/775 (github_issue, 2026-09-26, reported_symptom): power_puter.py 'isinstance(stmt, (ast.Constant, ast.Num))' fails on Python 3.14+; PR #776.
Search phrasings: python 3.14 ast.Num removed; ast has no attribute Str python 3.14; visit_Num not called python 3.14

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Safe-eval/math-expression utilities and code generators crash on 3.14; custom NodeVisitors with visit_Num/visit_Str silently stop handling literals (no error).
- Context
- Product: CPython ast Component: ast legacy node classes Operation: isinstance(node, ast.Num) / ast.Str in expression evaluators (simpleeval, inflect, ComfyUI nodes, build scripts); NodeVisitor.visit_Num Affected versions: CPython>=3.14.0 (deprecated since 3.8, warnings since 3.12) Environment: unknown Exception: AttributeError Packages: python >=3.14 Trigger: Referencing ast.Num, ast.Str, ast.Bytes, ast.NameConstant or ast.Ellipsis, or Constant.n/.s, on Python 3.14.

Proposed fix: [Python 3.14] AttributeError: module 'ast' has no attribute 'Num' (ast.Num/Str/Bytes/NameConstant/Ellipsis removed; visit_Num silently never called)
Recommended action: Use ast.Constant and inspect type(node.value); implement visit_Constant; replace .n/.s with .value. For third-party packages upgrade (e.g. simpleeval/inflect releases supporting 3.14) or use Python 3.13.
Option: Switch to ast.Constant / visit_Constant [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Python>=3.8 code
Steps:
1. isinstance(node, ast.Constant) and isinstance(node.value, (int, float, complex))
2. rename visit_Num/visit_Str to visit_Constant with type dispatch
3. node.n/node.s -> node.value
Expected: Works on 3.8-3.14
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
