code-analyser 1.4.0

Source code analyser — part of the analyser family

code-analyser

Analyses source code files and returns style violations, complexity metrics, and quality indicators. Designed as a low-level tool — feed it a file, get back structured JSON.

Part of the analyser family.

Status: Early development. Currently supports Python via ruff and basic AST metrics. Multi-language support and alignment with the family API pattern is in progress.

Install

pip install code-analyser

Requires Python 3.11+.

Usage

Python

from code_analyser import analyse

result = analyse("submission.py")

print(f"Lines:      {result['metrics']['lines_of_code']}")
print(f"Complexity: {result['metrics']['cyclomatic_complexity']}")
print(f"Issues:     {len(result['issues'])}")

HTTP API

The analyser family

Low-level analysis tools. Each accepts files directly and returns structured JSON. Build your own UI or pipeline on top.

Package	Handles
speech-analyser	audio and video files — transcript and speech metrics
video-analyser	video files — frames, scenes, and visual quality
document-analyser	PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT — text and readability
code-analyser	source code — style, complexity, and quality metrics
records-analyser	CSV, Excel, SQLite, Parquet, JSON — data profiling
auto-analyser	any file — detects format and routes to the right tool
