Even Python's official AST doc will point you to this. Apart from that if you have very specific query please reach out to me. I am working in this domain extensively. I have also looked and worked with tree-sitter and bblfish (by source-d) So I can tell you one thing or two about this

Also for more rigorous intro and ideas please look into Dragon Book (Aho, Compiler Design) chapter 2 a bit as well. Apart from that @Edward de Jong / Beads Project had already mentioned some other great resources.
