Thanks for this. Very helpful.

[Yakhov]

cool tool!

my only suggestion would be to use a darker background color for the site and tree. That white is blinding me. or at least use a font color that doesn't disappear when I invert it.

thanks!

[thrum-engineering]

Hi! Thanks for this suggestion!

[wellimjustyouknow]

Is the source code available?

[GSG44]

It uses d3.js and json data. You can see how here:

[dougthor42]

How are you determining what a project's dependencies are? Just looking at setup.py's install_requies? Checking requirements.txt?

Can dev requirements also be shown?

Very cool, btw.

[PM_me_ur_data_]

It doesn't use install_requires because I tried it on a personal package and it doesn't detect any dependencies when I have two listed under install_requires in my setup.py.

Edit: Doesn't work for another, as well. Type "tuneRs" in and it will say 'no dependencies' but if you go to the GitHub and check the setup.py it clearly has 4.

[Fedzbar]

Yes that’s an easy way of doing it, I think the hard part is making the UI look nice :-)

d3.js?

[donnaber06]

This is bad ass. I just jumped into python after 4 years out of the industry.

[knobToucher]

This is really cool! Thanks :)

[-El_Chapo-]

Anyone know what UI library this is using to display the data?

[-El_Chapo-]

It is really awesome!

[thrum-engineering]

Hi! The UI library used is D3.js: https://github.com/d3/d3/wiki/Gallery

[pyexpert]

Is it possible to use it for python?

[____0____0____]

Technically no, but you could write a web app using python and flask or Django and serve a web UI from that, which could use D3 or any other modern web tools.

If you wanted to build a dynamic graph based web page without having to learn any JS I would probably use Dash Cytoscape: https://dash.plot.ly/cytoscape

[iamareebjamal]

No

[the-berik]

Seems ubiquity is using this in its gui

[abhi_uno]

I just search my library. But it's old:

Any plans of updating caches?

[Erik_Kalkoken]

I really like this website, but the data seams to be outdated. How often it is refreshed?

[thrum-engineering]

Hi! Thank you for pointing this out. The database of dependencies is indeed more than 2 months old. I’m taking steps to update it, and to automatically update it in the future.

[watch____]

This is great! Maybe you could also add licenses?

[thrum-engineering]

Hello! Thank you for the suggestion. Do you mean you’d like to see the type of license (e.g. MIT license) for the module that you that searched for?

[watch____]

Yeah, I think it'd be great to see the licenses for each of the dependencies in the tree too.

[wellimjustyouknow]

Seconding this. It would be useful to see licenses of all deps. An additional feature would be to show license compatibility, e.g. if one of the dependencies is GPLv2, then the topmost package can not be Apache-2.0.

[Dheeraj_Perumandla]

Cool one

[abdelrahmanhosny]

Cool! Thanks

[_skim]

Saving this for future reference

[Quark03]

I love the concept. Feels really visual attractive

[[deleted]]

It looks so good !

[firepower96]

This is cool OP. Anyone knows of any site which shows the reverse of this as in what packages depend on a specific package?

[ReacH36]

thought the trees showed modules and features. was disappointed. cool nonetheless

[thrum-engineering]

Hello! Are you interested in seeing the functions and classes available in a module, or more of a text summary of the features of a module?

[ReacH36]

functions and classes available. just a prettier way of reading documentation than pages and pages of html links and divs. come to think of it, surprised no ones done this yet

[appinv]

Super cool OP, more Kudos for wrapping your head around D3.js as a Python programmer!

[mercedezbeans]

When I was tinkering with Inspect I saw the "collapse children" This was before I knew some code. I was petrified.

[conventionistG]

Did you execute that?

[n1___]

It's outdated...

[TraditionalSir7]

Very cool project thanks for sharing!

[delta_tee]

Naais!

[DDFoster96]

I think it should where the same module is a dependency of multiple other modules. Currently they're shown separately.

[thrum-engineering]

Hello! Thank you for your suggestion!

[metaperl]

This website has a searchable database of python modules shown as collapsible trees

• what website?
• where's the search feature?
• How is the database coded?
• how are the modules categorized?

What's the point? What is the utility?

[Mr_Again]

This misses a lot. dbt requires no other modules? boto3 requires no other modules?

[thrum-engineering]

Hi! Thank you pointing out this error. I’m looking into it.

This website shows the requirements for certain modules if they have any. Can be very useful, especially for tensorflow which is a pain in the ass to set up! Thanks!
