Is it possible to know before execution if the variable would be changed with ast Python?
I have a string with python code inside, for example:
df.head()
and
df.dropna(inplace=True)
Is it possible, using ast to know whether the execution will change initial variable(second case) or not(first case)

No, this is not possible in the general case as outlined in the Halting Problem. This goes for all languages, not just python.
