Gather module dependencies of source code

Module Dependencies

Brief overview

The module_dependencies Python module allows you to gather the dependencies of specific modules in source code. It has been split into two main sections: Module and Source.

The former, Module, supports functionality for mapping a module name to the usage of that module within open source repositories. This is very useful when we are interested in determining which sections of a Python module is most frequently used. For example:

from module_dependencies import Module
from pprint import pprint

# Attempt to find 1000 imports of the "nltk" module
# in both Python files and Jupyter Notebooks each
module = Module("nltk", count="1000")
print(module.usage())
module.plot()

This program outputs:

With the methods provided in the Module class, it becomes elementary to see which sections of code are frequently used, allowing you to prioritise these sections over rarely used sections.

---

module_dependencies also provides Source, wich implements functionality for mapping Python source code to the dependencies and imports within that file. For example:

from module_dependencies import Source
from pprint import pprint

# This creates a Source instance for this file itself
src = Source.from_file(__file__)

pprint(src.dependencies())
pprint(src.imports())

This program outputs:

['module_dependencies.Source.from_file', 'pprint.pprint']
['module_dependencies', 'pprint']

Documentation

More detailed documentation, including examples and an API Reference, can be found in the online documentation.

Installation

module_dependencies can be installed directly via pip. It is recommended to set up a virtualenvironment before installation, although this is not strictly a requirement.

The command to install module_dependencies is:

pip install module_dependencies

Note that module_dependencies requires Python 3.8 onwards.
