Python 3.14: assertion failure related to ast._const_node_type_names

[musicinmybrain]

Describe the bug

In rope/base/ast.py, it’s expected that ast._const_node_type_names exists. Otherwise, the library falls back to a backport intended for Python 3.7 and older, and this assumption is confirmed with an assertion:

https://github.com/python-rope/rope/blob/55169bb6f687ee3c0ce76c9230e93b0834acbde5/rope/base/ast.py#L7-L22

However, as of Python 3.14.0a5, Python 3.14 also lacks ast._const_node_type_names, so importing rope.base.ast results in an assertion failure.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

$ git checkout https://github.com/python-rope/rope.git
$ cd rope
$ uv venv --python 3.14
$ source .venv/bin/activate
(rope) $ uv pip install -e .[dev]
(rope) $ python -m pytest
