python-loc-counter 0.2

Get LOC metrics for python scripts

python-loc-counter

The python-loc-counter module was built to count various LOC metrics:

• source_loc (Everything thats not a comment or blank line)
• single_comment_loc (Comments with the pound key)
• single_docstring_loc (Docstrings with single quotes)
• double_docstring_loc (Docstrings with double quotes)
• total_comments_loc (single_comment_loc + single_docstring_loc + double_docstring_loc)
• blank_loc (Any whitespace designated only with string.whitespace)
• total_line_count (Typical line count)

This uses extensive regex to try to cover weird edge cases, like comments in the middle of a src line (I recommend a quick review about how comments are decidely handled in tests/randomFile.txt). This is written entirely in python with no dependencies outside the standard library. Made to be used as a library.

Installation

This package is locted on github and pypi. If you have pip installed the easiest way to install is:

$ pip install python-loc-counter

Example Usage

from python_loc_counter import LOCCounter

def main():
    counter = LOCCounter(<file_name>)
    loc_data = counter.getLOC()
    print(loc_data)

This will print a dictionary that might look something like:

{
    total_src_loc:1757
    total_single_comments_loc:75
    total_single_docstrings_loc:0
    total_double_docstrings_loc:179
    total_blank_loc:516
    total_comments_loc:254
    total_line_count:2530
}
