Srcfilesnetwork

A script to visualize how python files in a project/folder import each other and external packages.

The script automatically ignores folders specified in a .gitignore file.

Requirements

networkx==2.5
pyvis==0.1.9
click

Using the script in a virtual environment

After cloning the repository:

cd src-files-network
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install .

To plot the import network for the current repository (the test folder contains an example of a cyclical import) you can either execute the newly installed srcfilesnetwork python module or directly call the scrfilesnetwork.py script

python srcfilesnetwork.py .
python -m srcfilesnetwork .

It will produce an html file visualizing the import structure of this project as follows

Files in the folder are shown in green, with imports between them highligted in bold green. The size of the nodes is proportional to the length of the python file.

Packages imported by these files are in gray.

Cyclical imports are highlighted in red.

Syntax

srcfilesnetwork.py [OPTIONS] PATH

Options: 
--saveas TEXT  html file where to save the network plot.  [default:_scrnetwork.html]
--help         Show this message and exit.
