python-dependency-list

A primitive library for finding external dependencies of a python project.

Usage: python deplst.py pwd where pwd is the root path to the folder containing the python project. The code will:

• Find all .py files within the folder
• Extract dependencies by parsing import X and from X import statements
• Return minimal set

Known shortcomings:

• Code is not aware of standard libraries, so it may return libraries like os which are installed by default
• Code does not attempt to infer library versions
• Occasionally multiline comments ''' aaa ''' may be parsed as dependencies. Currently fixed by manually deleting fake libraries from the final list, optimally should remove all comments from file prior to parsing
