pydefs

A CLI for listing function and class definitions from Python modules (without importing them).

For example, running pydefs against itself:

$ pydefs pydefs/
pydefs
pydefs/__init__.py (0 definitions)
pydefs/__main__.py (1 definition)
33: main
pydefs/parse.py (6 definitions)
07: defs
30: parse_ast
35: parse_path
42: parse_file
56: parse_directory
67: print_definitions
pydefs/version.py (0 definitions)

Installation

You can install pydefs straight from the source:

$ python3 setup.py install

Usage

When installed, you can run pydefs on the command line:

$ pydefs path/to/module.py another/module.py

**Running without installing**

You can also run pydefs without installing it first. However, in that case, you must execute the pydefs package as a module.

Assuming your working directory is the root of the pydefs project, you go like this:

$ python3 -m pydefs path/to/module.py

**Uninstalling**

If you wish to uninstall pydefs and make sure that you get rid of everything, you can run the installation again using the additional --record argument to save a list of all installed files:

$ python3 setup.py install --record installed_files.txt

Then, you can then go through all the listed files and manually delete each one.

Requirements

This project strives to be small and specific in focus, as well as keeping dependencies at an absolute minimum.

Python 3.5 - type hinting,
docopt - provides a nicer command-line interface

Full usage

Usage:
  pydefs [<module>]...
  pydefs -h | --help

  pydefs path/to/my/module.py path/to/another/module.py
    List functions/classes for multiple modules

  pydefs path/to/my/modules
    List functions/classes for all modules in a package

Options:
  -h --help    Show program help
  --version    Show program version
