Magwitch

========

A little tool built on top of `pip` for understanding Python package

dependencies.

.. image:: docs/pip-magwitch.jpg

While I have a great expectations for what this project will do, it is pretty

basic to start with - by design - and very much in flux.

Project goals

=============

- Show auxilliary information about a package, including not just the

  packages it requires, but its entire dependency lineage

- Show the same lineage but for packages which require a given package

- Show version specifications in a lineage, including conflicts and how wide the

  version window is (e.g. if package A requires package X between versions 1.0

  and 2.0, and package B requires package X between versions 0.9 and 1.5, then

  the specification window is 1.0 through 1.5)

- Generate a dependency graphs mapping version specification relationsips

- Generate Graphiz and image represenations of the dependency graph

Python 3 gets first class support with backwards support for Python 2.7 if it

doesn't get in the way.

Installation

============

Download source and run::

    python setup.py install

Usage

=====

Magwitch uses the script name `abel`.

requires

--------

See what other packages a given package depends on.::

    $ abel requires sphinx

    snowballstemmber

    six

    alabaster

    docutils

    jinja2

    pygments

    sphinx-rtd-theme

    babel

Options

~~~~~~~

    `--full`

        Produce a list recursively of packages required by the original

        package.

    `--tree`

        An output flat for generating a `full` list as a tree of requirements.

required_by

-----------

See what other packages require the given package.::

    $ abel required_by sphinx

    sphinx-rtd-theme

Options

~~~~~~~

    `--full`

        Produce a list recursively of packages dependent on the original

        package.

    `--tree`

        An output flat for generating a `full` list as a tree of requirements.
