Witchery

A Python Package for Code Analysis and Modification

Witchery is a powerful Python library that offers various functionalities for code analysis and modification. It provides tools to traverse Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) of Python code and perform tasks such as finding defined variables, removing specific variables, identifying local imports, adding function calls, and much more.

Whether you need to analyze code for missing variables, remove certain variables from your codebase, or perform code transformations, Witchery has you covered. It is a versatile utility for developers and programmers seeking to enhance their code analysis and modification capabilities.

With Witchery, you can easily parse Python code, identify used and defined variables, handle imports, and generate code for missing variables, among other useful features. This package is designed to simplify code manipulation tasks and assist in creating cleaner and more efficient Python codebases.

Features:

• Find defined variables within Python code
• Remove specific variables from code
• Identify local imports in code
• Remove imports of specific modules
• Add function calls to existing code
• Find missing variables in code
• Generate ✨ magic ✨ code to define missing variables
• and more!

Installation

You can install witchery using pip:

pip install witchery

Usage

The witchery library provides several useful methods to work with Python code. Here are the main functions and their purposes:

1. find_defined_variables(code_str: str) -> set[str]: Parses the given Python code and finds all variables that are defined within. It returns a set of variable names that are defined in the provided Python code.

2. remove_specific_variables(code: str, to_remove: typing.Iterable[str] = ("db", "database")) -> str: Removes specific variables from the given code. You can specify a list of variable names to be removed, and the function will return the code after removing the specified variables.

3. has_local_imports(code: str) -> bool: Checks if the given code has local imports. It returns True if local imports are found, and False otherwise.

4. remove_import(code: str, module_name: typing.Optional[str]) -> str: Removes the import of a specific module from the given code. You can specify the name of the module to remove, and the function will return the code after removing the import of the specified module.

5. remove_local_imports(code: str) -> str: Removes all local imports from the given code. It returns the code after removing all local imports.

6. find_function_to_call(code: str, function_call_hint: str) -> typing.Optional[str]: Finds the function to call in the given code based on the function call hint. It returns the name of the function to call if found, or None otherwise.

7. extract_function_details(function_call: str, default_args: typing.Iterable[str] = DEFAULT_ARGS) -> tuple[str | None, list[str]]: Extracts the function name and arguments from the function call string. It returns a tuple containing the function name and a list of arguments.

8. add_function_call(code: str, function_call: str, args: typing.Iterable[str] = DEFAULT_ARGS) -> str: Adds a function call to the given code. You can specify the function call string and the arguments for the function call.

9. find_variables(code_str: str) -> tuple[set[str], set[str]]: Finds all used and defined variables in the given code string. It returns a tuple containing sets of used and defined variables.

10. find_missing_variables(code: str) -> set[str]: Finds and returns all missing variables in the given code. It returns a set of names of missing variables.

11. generate_magic_code(missing_vars: set[str]) -> str: Generates code to define missing variables with a do-nothing object. After finding missing variables, it fills them in with an object that does nothing except return itself or an empty string.
