Run through the AST of an expression in sympy

I'm using sympy to compute some higher order derivatives of a complicated function expression. I'd like to traverse the AST of the expression, e.g. go through the nodes depth first. How do I do that ?

A simple depth-first travel would be like this:

from sympy import pi, sin
from sympy.abc import a,x,y

def depth_first_traverse(expr):
    for arg in expr.args:
        depth_first_traverse(arg, depth+1, new_marks+'+---', parent_ind=ind)
    if len(expr.args) == 0:
        # we reached a leaf of the tree
        pass  # do something with leaf expr
    else:
        pass  # do something with compound expr
depth_first_traverse(sin(a*x*pi+1.5)/y)

With additional parameters, more complex goals can be reached, for example printing the tree in depth-first order while showing how everything fits together:

from sympy import srepr, pi, sin
from sympy.abc import a,x,y

def depth_first_traverse(expr, depth=0, marks='', parent_ind=None):
    for ind, arg in enumerate(expr.args):
        new_marks = marks.replace('+', '|').replace('-', ' ')
        if parent_ind == 0:
            new_marks = new_marks[:-4] + ' ' + new_marks[-3:]
        depth_first_traverse(arg, depth+1, new_marks+'+---', parent_ind=ind)
    if len(expr.args) == 0:
        print(marks, end="> ")
        print("symbol", srepr(expr))
    else:
        print(marks, end="+ ")
        print("function", expr.func, "had", len(expr.args), "arguments")

    print(marks.replace('+', '|').replace('-', ' '))

depth_first_traverse(sin(a*x*pi+1.5)/y)

Output:

    +---> symbol Symbol('y')
    |   
    +---> symbol Integer(-1)
    |   
+---+ function <class 'sympy.core.power.Pow'> had 2 arguments

|       |   |
