Smart reproducible analytical pipeline visualisation.

smartrappy

Smart reproducible analytical pipeline inspection.

Introduction

What does this package do?

smartrappy analyses a Python project and infers the directed acyclic graph (DAG) of the code and data dependencies, including the last time any data were refreshed and whether the data exist at all on disk. It is not perfect, and will miss a lot in complex projects: but for simple projects using, say, pd.read_csv(), it does a good job of inferring the steps. The inferred DAG is then visualised, and there are several options for doing that—the default being to produce a visualisation in the terminal.

What is smartrappy for?

smartrappy is designed to help you understand the dependencies in a project, especially in a context where there may be a lot of legacy code that resembles tangled spaghetti.

Quickstart

To use smartrappy as a command-line tool:

smartrappy /path/to/your/project

Or to use it within a Python script:

from smartrappy import analyse_project
from smartrappy.reporters import ConsoleReporter


model = analyse_project("/path/to/your/project")
reporter = ConsoleReporter()
reporter.generate_report(model)

Installation

To install smartrappy, you can use pip install smartrappy or uv add smartrappy if you are using Astral's uv. You can also use it as a standalone command-line tool with uv and the uvx command:

uvx smartrappy path/to/your/project
