A command-line utility for grepping Python files using XPath syntax (or CSS

selectors) against the Python AST (Abstract Syntax Tree).

In other words, this allows you to search Python code against specific syntax

elements (function definitions, arguments, assignments, variables etc), instead

of grepping for string matches.

The interface and behaviour is designed to match grep and ripgrep as far as it

makes sense to do so.

See `the documentation `_ for more

information, or the ``docs`` folder.
