DigDep

A lightweight Python dependency analyzer that scans Python projects and visualizes import relationships.

Features

• Scan Python projects for imported modules
• List project dependencies
• Generate File → Dependency trees
• Generate Dependency → File trees
• Detect unused imports
• Find files that import a specific dependency
• Show exact import lines for a dependency
• Filter dependencies by type:
  • Standard Library
  • Third-party
  • Local
• Ignore files and directories during analysis
• Read ignore patterns from a file
• Export analysis results as JSON
• Use from the command line or as a Python library
• Support ASCII output for environments where Unicode tree characters are unavailable

Installation

pip install digdep

Quick Start

Command Line

List project dependencies:

digdep deps ./myproject

Show the File → Dependency tree:

digdep deps ./myproject --tree

Show the Dependency → File tree:

digdep deps ./myproject --tree --reverse

Show unused imports:

digdep deps ./myproject --unused

Show unused imports as a tree:

digdep deps ./myproject --unused --tree

Find files importing a dependency:

digdep find-dep requests ./myproject

Show the dependency as a file tree:

digdep find-dep requests ./myproject --tree

Show the exact import lines:

digdep find-dep requests ./myproject --tree --showlines

Export results as JSON:

digdep deps ./myproject --tree -o file_tree.json
