cpg2py 1.2.0

A graph-based data structure designed for querying CSV files in Joern format in Python

cpg2py

Python graph query engine for Code Property Graphs from Joern CSV exports. Directed multi-graph with generic ABCs for custom node/edge/graph types.

Features: Load from nodes.csv + rels.csv; query/update nodes and edges (get_property, set_property, set_properties); traverse succ/prev/children/parent/flow_to/flow_from; JSON persistence (save_json, load_json, storage_from_json). Concrete types: CpgGraph, CpgNode, CpgEdge.

---

Installation

pip install cpg2py

From source (e.g. with uv):

git clone https://github.com/samhsu-dev/cpg2py.git && cd cpg2py
uv sync --dev
uv run pytest tests/

---

Input format

• nodes.csv: tab-delimited; must include node id (e.g. id:int or id). Other columns become node properties.
• rels.csv: tab-delimited; columns start, end, type (or start:str, end:str, type:str).

---

Usage

Load from CSV

from pathlib import Path
from cpg2py import cpg_graph, CpgGraph, CpgNode, CpgEdge

graph: CpgGraph = cpg_graph(Path("nodes.csv"), Path("rels.csv"))

Nodes and edges (edge identified by (from_id, to_id, edge_type); edge_type is string)

node: CpgNode = graph.node("2")
node.name
node.set_property("name", "x")
node.set_properties({"k": "v"})

edge: CpgEdge = graph.edge("2", "3", "ENTRY")
edge.from_nid, edge.to_nid, edge.type
edge.set_property("weight", 0.5)

Traversal

graph.succ(node)   # successors
graph.prev(node)   # predecessors
graph.children(node)
graph.parent(node)
graph.flow_to(node)
graph.flow_from(node)
graph.topfile_node("5")   # top-level file node for given node ID

Filtered iteration (optional predicate)

graph.nodes(lambda n: n.type == "Function")
graph.edges(lambda e: e.edge_type == "FLOWS_TO")
graph.succ(node, who_satisifies=lambda e: e.edge_type == "PARENT_OF")
graph.descendants(node, condition=...)
graph.ancestors(node, condition=...)

JSON persistence

graph.storage.save_json("graph.json")

storage = Storage()
storage.load_json("graph.json")
graph2 = CpgGraph(storage)

# or
storage = storage_from_json(Path("graph.json"))

JSON schema: {"nodes": { "<id>": { "<key>": <value>, ... }, ... }, "edges": [ {"from": str, "to": str, "type": str, "props": {...} }, ... ]}. See design.md.

Extending (ABCs)

Implement AbcGraphQuerier[MyNode, MyEdge], AbcNodeQuerier, AbcEdgeQuerier; inject Storage. Full interface and contracts: docs/design.md.

Minimal custom graph:

from cpg2py import AbcGraphQuerier, AbcNodeQuerier, AbcEdgeQuerier, Storage
from typing import Optional

class MyNode(AbcNodeQuerier): pass
class MyEdge(AbcEdgeQuerier): pass

class MyGraph(AbcGraphQuerier[MyNode, MyEdge]):
    def node(self, whose_id_is: str) -> Optional[MyNode]:
        return MyNode(self.storage, whose_id_is)
    def edge(self, fid: str, tid: str, eid: str) -> Optional[MyEdge]:
        return MyEdge(self.storage, fid, tid, eid)

g = MyGraph(Storage())
