analyview 0.1.2

Interactive Django architecture analyzer

AnalyView

AnalyView is a command-line tool that scans a Python/Django project and gives you an interactive visual overview of its structure — Python files, HTML templates, and Django apps — right in your browser.

Point it at a project folder and get an instant snapshot of what's inside, no configuration needed.

---

Installation

pip install analyview

Requires Python 3.9+.

---

Commands

analyview scan

Scans a project directory and prints a summary to the terminal.

analyview scan .

Or point it at any folder:

analyview scan D:\git\MyProject

What it reports:

• Total number of Python (.py) files found
• Total number of HTML template files found
• Detected Django apps (folders containing both models.py and views.py)

The scan automatically skips virtual environments, node_modules, .git, build folders, and broken symlinks — so it's safe to run on any real-world project without manual cleanup.

---

analyview serve

Launches a local web app so you can explore the project's structure visually instead of just reading a terminal summary.

analyview serve .

This starts a server (default: http://127.0.0.1:9001) — open the printed URL in your browser to view the interactive layout of your project.

Optional flags:

Flag	Description	Default
--host	Host address to bind to	127.0.0.1
--port	Port to serve on	9001

Example with custom host/port:

analyview serve . --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9002

Press Ctrl+C to stop the server.

What counts as a "Django app"?

AnalyView uses a simple, reliable heuristic: any directory that contains both a models.py and a views.py file is treated as a Django app. This works without needing your project's settings, installed apps list, or any Django-specific configuration.

---

Notes

• Works on any Python project, not just Django ones — non-Django projects will simply show 0 Django apps.
• Safe on Windows, including projects with virtual environments that use symlinks/junctions (a common source of crashes in other scanning tools).
• No internet connection or external services required — everything runs locally.
