Package Audit

Python Package Audit is a lightweight static analysis tool designed to detect unused Python packages

Warning - Ignored directories starting with "." or "_" !
Warning - Unused package detection is not guaranteed to be accurate !
Warning - It is highly recommended to review the results carefully before removing any packages !

Features

• Scans Python files to detect all imported modules
• Maps import names to actual installed PyPI packages
• Tracks both direct and transitive dependencies
• Flags packages that are installed but unused
• Provides optional JSON output for automation pipelines
• Ignores common noise (E.G. folders starting with "." or "_")
• Multithreaded for fast analysis of large projects

Installation

You can install this package via PIP: pip install python-package-audit

Dependencies

This project requires the following Python packages:

• colorama — For colored terminal output
• pipdeptree — For analyzing package dependency trees

Usage

python -m pkgaudit --project "/path/to/your/project-root-directory"

JSON Output

python -m pkgaudit --project "/path/to/your/project-root-directory" --json

Output - Text
