What it does
------------

z3c.dependencychecker reports on:

- **Missing (test) requirements**: imports without a corresponding requirement
in the ``setup.py``. There might be false alarms, but at least you've got a
(hopefully short) list of items to check.

Watch out for packages that have a different name than how they're imported.
For instance a requirement on ``pydns`` which is used as ``import DNS`` in
your code: pydns and DNS lead to separate "missing requirements: DNS" and
"unneeded requirements: pydns" warnings.

- **Unneeded (test) requirements**: requirements in your setup.py that aren't
imported anywhere in your code. You *might* need them because not
everything needs to be imported. It at least gives you a much smaller list
to check by hand.

- **Requirements that should be test-only**: if something is only imported in
a test file, it shouldn't be in the generic defaults. So you get a separate
list of requirements that should be moved from the regular to the test
requirements.

It checks the following locations:

- Python files for regular imports and their docstrings.

- ZCML files, Plone's generic setup files as well as FTI XML files.

- Python files, ``.txt`` and ``.rst`` files for imports in doctests.

- django settings files.

User mappings
-------------

Some packages available on pypi have a different name than the import statement needed to use them,
i.e. `python-dateutil` is imported as `import dateutil`.
Others provide more than one package, i.e `Zope2` provides several packages like `Products.Five` or `Products.OFSP`.

For those cases, z3c.dependencychecker has a solution: user mappings.

Add a `pyproject.toml` file on the root of your project with the following content:

[tool.dependencychecker]
python-dateutil = ['dateutil']
Zope2 = ['Products.Five', 'Products.OFSP' ]

z3c.dependencychecker will read this information and use it on its reports.

Ignore packages
---------------

Sometimes you need to add a package in `setup.py` although you are not importing it directly,
but maybe is an extra dependency of one of your dependencies,
or your package has a soft dependency on a package,
and as a soft dependency it is not mandatory to install it always.

`z3c.dependencychecker` would complain in both cases.
It would report that a dependency is not needed,
or that a missing package is not listed on the package requirements.

Fortunately, `z3c.dependencychecker` also has a solution for it.

Add a `pyproject.toml` file on the root of your project with the following content:

[tool.dependencychecker]
ignore-packages = ['one-package', 'another.package' ]

`z3c.dependencychecker` will totally ignore those packages in its reports,
whether they're requirements that appear to be unused,
or requirements that appear to be missing.

Credits
-------

z3c.dependencychecker is a different application/packaging of zope's
importchecker utility. It has been used in quite some projects, I grabbed a
copy from `lovely.recipe's checkout
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/lovely.recipe/trunk/annotate/head%3A/src/lovely/recipe/importchecker/importchecker.py>`_.

- Martijn Faassen wrote the original importchecker script.

- `Reinout van Rees <http://reinout.vanrees.org>`_ added the dependency
checker functionality and packaged it (mostly while working at `The Health
Agency <http://www.thehealthagency.com>`_).

- Quite some fixes from `Jonas Baumann <https://github.com/jone>`_.

- Many updates to work well with modern Plone versions by `Gil Forcada
Codinachs <http://gil.badall.net/>`.


Source code, forking and reporting bugs
---------------------------------------

The source code can be found on github:
https://github.com/reinout/z3c.dependencychecker

You can fork and fix it from there. And you can add issues and feature
requests in the github issue tracker.

Every time you commit something, ``bin/code-analysis`` is automatically
run. Pay attention to the output and fix the problems that are reported. Or
fix the setup so that inappropriate reports are filtered out.


Usage of z3c.dependencychecker
==============================

.. :doctest:


Installation
------------

Either install z3c.dependencychecker globally (``easy_install
z3c.dependencychecker``) or install it in your buildout.


Usage
-----

Run the ``dependencychecker`` or ``bin/dependencychecker`` script from your
project's root folder and it will report on your dependencies.

By default, it looks in the ``src/`` directory for your sources.
Alternatively, you can specify a start directory yourself, for instance
``'.'`` if there's no ``src/`` directory.

We have a sample project in a temp directory:

>>> sample1_dir
'/TESTTEMP/sample1'
>>> ls(sample1_dir)
setup.py
src

For our test, we call the main() method, just like the ``dependencychecker``
script would:

>>> import os
>>> os.chdir(sample1_dir)
>>> from z3c.dependencychecker import dependencychecker
>>> dependencychecker.main()
Unused imports
==============
src/sample1/unusedimports.py:7: tempfile
src/sample1/unusedimports.py:4: zest.releaser
src/sample1/unusedimports.py:6: os

Note: requirements are taken from the egginfo dir, so you need
to re-run buildout (or setup.py or whatever) for changes in
setup.py to have effect.

Changelog of z3c.dependencychecker
==================================

2.3 (2018-06-21)
----------------

- Add a new command line option ``--exit-zero``.
It forces the program to always exit with a zero status code.
Otherwise it will report ``1`` if the program does find anything to report.
[gforcada]

- Fix ZCML parser to discard empty strings.
[gforcada]

2.2 (2018-06-19)
----------------

- Ignore relative imports (i.e. from . import foo).
[gforcada]

- Added ``ignore-packages`` config option to totally ignore one or more packages in the reports
(whether unused imports or unneeded dependencies).
Handy for soft dependencies.
[gforcada]

2.1.1 (2018-03-10)
------------------

- Note: 2.1 had a technical release problem, hence 2.1.1.
[reinout]

- We're releasing it as a wheel, too, now.
[reinout]

- Small improvements to the debug logging (``-v/--verbose`` shows it).
[reinout]

- Remove unused parameter in DottedName.
[gforcada]

- All imports found by DocFiles imports extractor are marked as test ones.
[gforcada]

- Handle multiple dotted names found in a single ZCML parameter.
[gforcada]

- Use properties to make code more pythonic.
[gforcada]

- Allow users to define their own mappings on a `pyproject.toml` file.
See README.rst.

- Filter imports when adding them to the database, rather than on each report.
[gforcada]


2.0 (2018-01-04)
----------------

- Complete rewrite: code does no longer use deprecated functionality,
is more modular, more pythonic, easier to extend and hack, and above all,
has a 100% test coverage to ensure that it works as expected.
[gforcada]

- Add support for Python 3.
[gforcada]


1.16 (2017-06-21)
-----------------

- Don't crash anymore on, for instance, django code that needs a django
settings file to be available or that needs the django app config step to be
finished.
[reinout]

- Improved Django settings extraction.
[reinout]

- Better detection of python build-in modules. ``logging/__init__.py`` style
modules were previously missed.
[reinout]


1.15 (2015-09-02)
-----------------

- The name of a wrong package was sometimes found in case of a directory with
multiple egg-info directories (like
``/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/*.egg-info/``...). Now the
``top_level.txt`` file in the egg-info directories is checked if the
top-level directory matches.
[reinout]


1.14 (2015-09-01)
-----------------

- The debug logging (``-v``) is now printed to stdout instead of stderr. This
makes it easier to grep or search in the verbose output for debugging
purposes.
[reinout]


1.13 (2015-08-29)
-----------------

- Import + semicolon + statement (like ``import
transaction;transaction.commit()``) is now also detected correctly.
[gforcada]

- The starting directory for packages with a dotted name (like
``zest.releaser``) is now also found automatically.
[reinout]

- Internal code change: moved the code out of the ``src/``
directory. Everything moved one level up.
[reinout]

- Dependencychecker doesn't descend anymore into directories without an
``__init__.py``. This helps with website projects that sometimes have python
files buried deep in directories that aren't actually part of the project's
python code.
[reinout]

- Multiple imports from similarly-named libraries on separate lines are now
handled correctly. An import of ``zope.interface`` on one line could
sometimes "hide" a ``zope.component`` import one line down.
[gforcada]


1.12 (2015-08-16)
-----------------

- Improve ZCML imports coverage (look on ``for`` and ``class`` as well).
[gforcada]

- Internal project updates (buildout version, test adjustments, etc).
[gforcada]

- Add support for FTI dependencies (behaviors, schema and class).
[gforcada]


1.11 (2013-04-16)
-----------------

- Support python installations without global setuptools installed
by searching the name in the setup.py as fallback.


1.10 (2013-02-24)
-----------------

- Treat non-test extras_require like normal install_requires.


1.9 (2013-02-13)
----------------

- Improved detection for "Django-style" package names with a dash in
them. Django doesn't deal well with namespace packages, so instead of
``zc.something``, you'll see packages like ``zc-something``. The import then
uses an underscore, ``zc_something``.

- Added support for Django settings files. Anything that matches
``*settings.py`` is searched for Django settings like ``INSTALLED_APPS =
[...]`` or ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (...)``.


1.8 (2013-02-13)
----------------

- Detect ZCML "provides", as used for generic setup profile registration.


1.7.1 (2012-11-26)
------------------

- Added travis.ci configuration. We're tested there, too, now!


1.7 (2012-11-26)
----------------

- Lookup package name for ZCML modules too, as it is done for python modules.

- Detect generic setup dependencies in ``metadata.xml`` files.


1.6 (2012-11-01)
----------------

- Fix AttributeError when "magic modules" like email.Header are imported.


1.5 (2012-07-03)
----------------

- Add support for zipped dists when looking up pkg name.


1.4 (2012-07-03)
----------------

- Lookup pkg name from egg-infos if possible (python >= 2.5). This helps for
instance with the PIL problem (which can be ``Imaging`` instead when you
import it).


1.3.2 (2012-06-29)
------------------

- Fixed broken 1.3.0 and 1.3.0 release: the ``MANIFEST.in`` was missing...


1.3.1 (2012-06-29)
------------------

- Documentation updates because we moved to github:
https://github.com/reinout/z3c.dependencychecker .


1.3 (2012-06-29)
----------------

- Added fix for standard library detection on OSX when using the python
buildout. (Patch by Jonas Baumann, as is the next item).

- Supporting ``[tests]`` in addition to ``[test]`` for test requirements.


1.2 (2011-09-19)
----------------

- Looking for a package directory named after the package name in preference
to the src/ directory.

- Compensating for django-style 'django-something' package names with
'django_something' package directories. Dash versus underscore.


1.1 (2010-01-06)
----------------

- Zcml files are also searched for 'component=' patterns as that can be used
by securitypolicy declarations.

- Dependencychecker is now case insensitive as pypi is too.

- Using optparse for parsing commandline now. Added --help and --version.


1.0 (2009-12-10)
----------------

- Documentation update.

- Improved test coverage. The dependencychecker module self is at 100%, the
original import checker module is at 91% coverage.


0.5 (2009-12-10)
----------------

- Searching in doctests (.py, .txt, .rst) for imports, too. Regex-based by
necessity, but it seems to catch what I can test it with.


0.4 (2009-12-10)
----------------

- Supporting "from zope import interface"-style imports where you really want
to be told you're missing an "zope.interface" dependency instead of just
"zope" (which is just a namespace package).


0.3 (2009-12-08)
----------------

- Sorted "unneeded requirements" reports and filtered out duplicates.

- Reporting separately on dependencies that should be moved from the regular
to the test dependencies.


0.2 (2009-12-08)
----------------

- Added tests. Initial quick test puts coverage at 86%.

- Fixed bug in test requirement detection.

- Added documentation.

- Moved source code to zope's svn repository.


0.1 (2009-12-02)
----------------

- Also reporting on unneeded imports.

- Added note on re-running buildout after a setup.py change.

- Added zcml lookup to detect even more missing imports.

- Added reporting on missing regular and test imports.

- Grabbing existing requirements from egginfo directory.

- Copied over Martijn Faassen's zope importchecker script.
