packmap 0.0.1

A utility to discover all package dependencies for a specific Python package

PackMap is a simple utility which finds all dependent packages for a given Python package. It does this by installing the package and all of its dependencies into a clean temporary virtual environment and probing installed components for their actual requirements.

pip install packmap

Usage:

Checking the dependencies of a package called lplight on PyPI:

packmap lplight –pdf-results

Checking the dependencies of a package on your hard drive:

packmap lplight –install-type path –install-path /path/to/package –pdf-results

Results:

PackMap output’s two different type of results; JSON and PDF.

• PDF results: Produces an graph for easier viewing and consumption.

Note

The PDF results functionality requires the graphviz system package to be installed.
