Interactive graph for project and external imports in python.
I have tried pydeps, snakefood, sourcetrail, import-deps and pyan. Found none to be satisfactory - some for old versions and abandoned, some difficult to configure, some so bloated that without premature filtering it's impossible to understand what's going on in the graph.
- Scans imports / from only, rather than objects and methods, reducing the number of nodes & edges significantly.
- Glob is used to scan all nested files.
- Matches relative imports to the full name.
- Splits the imports to project graph and external graph - external imports are ones which do not appear to exist in the project directory. This further reduces the clutter, as each graph is structed differently (tree vs bush) and serves a different purpose.
- Creates a simple dot graph (based on pyan's writer class and module).
- An interactive standalone html visualiser is included which reads output graphs and highlights on hover / click nodes and their neighbours - this makes tracing a dependency path much easier without much prior knowledge. The visualiser has been tested and runs flawlessly on the latest chrome, waterfox and even waterfox classic.
- Update scanimport.DIRPROJ to the project directory of your choice and run it. Or add argparse, I don't much care for it personally.
- Open highlighterJS (click or hover) and load either the project or dependencies graph.
