Extract SOMIX model from Python code

Python2SOMIX

Extract SOMIX model from Python code

What is it for?

It allows to visualize Python code and the relations due to calls, accesses and grouping.

See the following example with two Python files:

test1.py

# test1.py remains unchanged
class ClassOne:
    class_variable = 100

    def __init__(self):
        self.instance_variable = 0
        ClassOne.class_variable += 1  # Fixed class variable increment

    def method_one(self):
        self.instance_variable += 1
        print("ClassOne method_one called")

def function_one():
    print("function_one called")

test2.py

# Updated test2.py with type annotations
from test1 import ClassOne, function_one

class ClassTwo:
    def method_two(self):
        obj = ClassOne()
        obj.method_one()
        function_one()
        print("ClassTwo method_two called")

    def method_three(self, my_obj: ClassOne):
        # To check that usage is also found when ClassOne is passed as an argument
        my_obj.method_one()

def function_two():
    obj = ClassOne()
    obj.method_one()
    function_one()
    print("function_two called")

Use Python2SOMIX to extract an mse file to display diagrams in Moose2Model. Go to www.moose2model.org to do this. This website uses only simple JavaScript coding and can also be run locally.

You may display all parts in a diagram like this:

Or construct diagrams which may contain only parts of the application together with coding. These are easy to keep correct when the code changes. You can also easily jump to an editor from the diagram.

How to run

start the script in the terminal with

python .\python2somix.py

See parameter -h or --help for available options.

The script will ask for the path to the folder where the python code is saved.

You may place a configuration file in the same folder as python2somix.py to specify which folder is to be read and where the output file is to be placed:

Exact name of the file: config_python2somix.txt

# Configuration file
base_path=/path/to/your/base/folder
output_path=/path/to/output/directory

To find usages of methods when the instance is passed to a parameter, you have to annotate the import parameter (Here that is belongs to ClassOne):

    def method_three(self, my_obj: ClassOne):
        # To check that usage is also found when ClassOne is passed as an argument
        my_obj.method_one()

Automatic test

Do an automatic test with

...\Python2SOMIX\src\tests> python .\test_extraction.py

This test generates the subfolder test with test coding and compares the expected mse file expected_output.mse with the extracted file test(date_time).mse. Adapt this coding when the logic is changed. The test ignores the exact order of entries and the exact value of the id.
