Genshi doesn't support Python 3.8 #14
Description
It's the usual AST changes that break Genshi on every Python release.
From the original Genshi tracker bug report https://genshi.edgewall.org/ticket/612:
Python 3.8 now uses ast.Constant type and remove types like _ast.Str: ast.Str is a backward compatibility class.
I had to disable Genshi benchmark in the performance project: python/pyperformance#46
Example of issue: "strarg = _new(_ast.Str, node.id)" at genshi/template/eval.py:616: the code should use ast.Str, not _ast.Str.

Update: And the Python 3.8 release schedule -- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0569/ (release currently scheduled for 20 October 2019).
