rope 0.23.0

a python refactoring library...

Overview

Rope is the world’s most advanced open source Python refactoring library (yes, I totally stole that tagline from Postgres).

Most Python syntax from Python 2.7 up to Python 3.10 is supported. Please file bugs and contribute patches if you encounter gaps.

Getting Started

• How to use Rope in my IDE or Text editor?

• List of features

• Overview of some of rope’s features

• Using as a library

• Contributing

To change your project preferences edit $PROJECT_ROOT/.ropeproject/config.py where $PROJECT_ROOT is the root folder of your project (this file is created the first time you open a project).

Why use Rope?

• Rope aims to provide powerful and safe refactoring

• Rope is light on dependency, Rope only depends on Python itself

• Unlike PyRight or PyLance, Rope does not depend on Node.js

• Unlike PyLance or PyCharm, Rope is open source.

• Unlike PyRight and PyLance, Rope is written in Python itself, so if you experience problems, you would be able to debug and hack it yourself in a language that you are already familiar with

• In comparison to Jedi, Rope is focused on refactoring. While Jedi provides some basic refactoring capabilities, Rope supports many more advanced refactoring operations and options that Jedi does not.
