Python ast parsing exception

I was using ast module of python3.4 to get the imports and function calls within a file.

It works correctly if I run the code on a file which has python3.4 syntax but throws an exception if I try to parse a file of older python2.7 version (for print statements, except statements which have a "," etc).

Is there a way to force ast to use python2.7 compiler while dealing with old files and use python3.4 compiler when dealing with python3.4 file? Is there any other way to resolve this issue??

Turns out it is not possible to use different versions of AST parsers in python to the best of my knowledge. (It is still possible to parse them separately by carrying out multiple iterations each time using a different version AST)
