Graphing Python Dependencies with Snakefood

When I need to tease out complex dependencies in a python project, I use snakefood.

To install:

brew install graphviz
pip install snakefood

Read more documentation here, but here’s a quick example use:

cd YOUR-PROJECT
sfood . | sfood-graph | dot -Tps | pstopdf -i -o map.pdf
open map.pdf

Which produces a map.pdf that looks like:

(In the PDF you can zoom in and read the labels and pan around the dependency links.)
