snaketrail

Trace the snake 🐍: list transitive local imports (files & namespace packages) and report unused .py files under your project root — without executing your code.

Install

pip install snaketrail

lets say you have a Handler.py thats your main entrypoint to your project, and you want to see which files it uses. but you more importantly want to see which files it DOESNT use and to tell what is deprecated and just test files.

# from your project root
snaketrail Handler.py
snaketrail Handler.py --verbose
snaketrail Handler.py --root /path/to/project

> Unused local Python files:
>  - debug.py
>  - test.py

now you can safely burn those deprecated files that your main program never touches, or tuck them away into a deprecated/ folder and nobody will ever look at them again.

probably.
