pydep

pydep generates simple dependency listings and graphs for Python modules.

Usage:

pydep dir [options] [extramodules]
-q = Quiet mode
-n = Don't generate the graph
-u = Disable grouping
-g = Group character(by default _ is used to split module names)
-d = Density of the graph(10=very dense, 0=very loose, default=9)

Examples:

pydep ~/projects/foo os time sys
pydep ~/projects/bar -g -

Examples of rendered graphs(Right click and "Save as..."):

Python2.6 (Warning 14000x8000 Pixels!)

Graph information

Nodes can have 6 types of information

• [number] shows the number of modules the node depends on.
• (number) shows how many modules depend on this node.
• ! indicates that this node imports itself.
• ? indicates that some imports seem unused.
• * indicates star imports.
• ~ indicates partial imports.

Edges can have 4 types of arrows

• Arrow, indicates a direct import via "import foo"
• Dot, indicates a partial import via "from foo import bar"
• Empty box, it seems that this import isn't used.
• Filled box, indicates a star import via "from foo import *"

Note: Due to the dynamic nature of Python some of the edge information might be incorrect.
