Python Object Graphs

Build Status Build Status (Windows) Test Coverage Documentation Status

objgraph is a module that lets you visually explore Python object graphs.

You'll need graphviz if you want to draw the pretty graphs.

I recommend xdot for interactive use. pip install xdot should suffice; objgraph will automatically look for it in your PATH.

Installation and Documentation

pip install objgraph or download it from PyPI.

Documentation lives at https://mg.pov.lt/objgraph.
