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``):

``pydeps`` also contains an Erd__s-like scoring function (a.k.a. Bacon number,
from `Six degrees of Kevin Bacon`_[2]) that lets you filter out modules that
are more than a given number of 'hops' away from the module you're interested in.
This is useful for finding the interface a module has to the rest of the world.
