pydeps 0.9.0

Display module dependencies

Python Dependency visualization. This package installs the pydeps, and normal usage will be to use it from the command line.

To create graphs you need to install Graphviz (make sure the dot command is on your path).

Note

to display the resulting .svg files, it currently calls firefox foo.svg. This is a bug/limitation that will hopefully be fixed soon’ish. I would suggest creating a script file called firefox that redirects to your favorite viewer if you can’t use firefox. Pull requests are very welcome.

This is the result of running pydeps on itself (pydeps --show pydeps):

An attempt has been made to keep the intermediate formats readable, eg. the output from pydeps --show-deps .. looks like this:

...
"pydeps.mf27": {
    "imported_by": [
        "__main__",
        "pydeps.py2depgraph"
    ],
    "kind": "imp.PY_SOURCE",
    "name": "pydeps.mf27",
    "path": "pydeps\\mf27.py"
},
"pydeps.py2depgraph": {
    "imported_by": [
        "__main__",
        "pydeps.pydeps"
    ],
    "imports": [
        "pydeps.depgraph",
        "pydeps.mf27"
    ],
    "kind": "imp.PY_SOURCE",
    "name": "pydeps.py2depgraph",
    "path": "pydeps\\py2depgraph.py"
}, ...

Usage:

usage: pydeps-script.py [-h] [-v] [-o file] [-T FORMAT] [--show] [--show-deps]
                        [--show-dot] [--debug] [--pylib] [--pylib-all]
                        [-x EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]]
                        fname

positional arguments:
  fname                 filename

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         be more verbose (-vv, -vvv for more verbosity)
  -o file               write output to 'file'
  -T FORMAT             output format (svg|png)
  --show                call external program to display graph
  --show-deps           show output of dependency analysis
  --show-dot            show output of dot conversion
  --debug               turn on all the show and verbose options
  --pylib               include python std lib modules
  --pylib-all           include python all std lib modules (incl. C modules)
  -x EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...], --exclude EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]
                        input files to skip

You can of course import pydeps from Python (look in the tests/test_relative_imports.py file for examples.
