py-import-cycles

Detect import cycles in Python projects.

It:

• walks over given packages,
• collects (file-based) Python modules,
• extracts import statements via ast and
• computes cycles.

It is conceived for having an indication whether Python packages may have structural weak points.

py-import-cycles does not take any Python module finder or loader mechanisms into account.
