Python language control flow parser. Written as a part of the Codimension project, this parser aims at pulling all the necessery data to build a control flow diagram.
Project description
cdm-flowparser
cdm-flowparser project is a Python 3 (Python 2 support is limited) extension module. The module provided functions can takes a file with a python code or a character buffer, parse it and provide back a hierarchical representation of the code in terms of fragments. Each fragment describes a portion of the input: a start point (line, column and absolute position) plus an end point (line, column and absolute position).
Comments are preserved too.
The module is used in the Codimension Python IDE to generate a flowchart-like diagrams for an arbitrary Python code as the user types it. Basically the IDE detects a pause in typing and regenerates the diagram.
Python 3 Installation and Building
The master branch contains code for Python 3 (3.5/3.6/3.7/3.8/3.9 grammar is covered).
The module can be installed using pip:
pip install cdmcfparser
You can also retrieve the full source code which in addition has some utilities. In order to do that you can follow these steps:
git clone https://github.com/SergeySatskiy/cdm-flowparser.git
cd cdm-flowparser
make
make check
make localinstall
Python 3: Visualizing Parsed Data
Suppose there is ~/my-file.py file with the following content:
#!/bin/env python
import sys
# I like comments
a = 154
for x in range(a):
print("x = " + str(x))
sys.exit(0)
Then you can run a test utility (if you have a local repository clone):
~/cdm-flowparser/utils/run.py ~/my-file.py
The output will be the following:

Python 2 Installation and Building
Attention: Python 2 version is not supported anymore. There will be no more Python 2 releases.
The latest Python 2 release is 1.0.1. Both pre-built modules and source code are available in the releases area on github: latest Python 2 release 1.0.1.
To build a Python 2 module from sources please follow these steps:
cd
wget https://github.com/SergeySatskiy/cdm-flowparser/archive/v1.0.1.tar.gz
gunzip v1.0.1.tar.gz
tar -xf v1.0.1.tar
cd cdm-flowparser-1.0.1/
make
make localinstall
make check
Python 2: Visualizing Parsed Data
Suppose there is the following file ~/my-file.py with the following content:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
# I like comments
a = 154
for x in xrange( a ):
print "x = " + str( x )
sys.exit( 0 )
Then you can run a test utility:
~/cdm-flowparser/utils/run.py ~/my-file.py
The output will be the following:
Running control flow parser version: trunk <ControlFlow [0:119] (1,1) (9,13) isOK: true Errors: n/a Warnings: n/a BangLine: [0:16] (1,1) (1,17) EncodingLine: None Docstring: None Suite: <Import [18:27] (2,1) (2,10) Body: [18:27] (2,1) (2,10) LeadingComment: None SideComment: None LeadingCMLComments: n/a SideCMLComments: n/a FromPart: None WhatPart: [25:27] (2,8) (2,10) > <CodeBlock [30:54] (4,1) (5,7) Body: [48:54] (5,1) (5,7) LeadingComment: <Comment [30:46] (4,1) (4,17) Parts: <Fragment [30:46] (4,1) (4,17) > > SideComment: None LeadingCMLComments: n/a SideCMLComments: n/a > <For [56:104] (6,1) (7,27) Body: [56:76] (6,1) (6,21) LeadingComment: None SideComment: None LeadingCMLComments: n/a SideCMLComments: n/a Iteration: [60:75] (6,5) (6,20) Suite: <CodeBlock [82:104] (7,5) (7,27) Body: [82:104] (7,5) (7,27) LeadingComment: None SideComment: None LeadingCMLComments: n/a SideCMLComments: n/a > ElsePart: None > <SysExit [107:119] (9,1) (9,13) Body: [107:119] (9,1) (9,13) LeadingComment: None SideComment: None LeadingCMLComments: n/a SideCMLComments: n/a Argument: [117:117] (9,11) (9,11) > >
Under the Hood
Basically the ‘run.py’ utility has the following essential lines for the example above:
from cdmcfparser import getControlFlowFromFile
controlFlow = getControlFlowFromFile("my-file.py")
# Serializes nicely the controlFlow object
# See the run.py for the details of how it is done
The run.py is available in a local clone at ~/cdm-flowparser/utils/run.py or you can see the source code online
