modulegraph.find_modules — High-level module dependency finding interface

This module provides a high-level interface to the functionality of the modulegraph package.

modulegraph.find_modules.find_modules([scripts[, includes[, packages[, excludes[, path[, debug]]]]]])

High-level interface, takes iterables for: scripts, includes, packages, excludes

And returns a modulegraph.modulegraph.ModuleGraph instance, python_files, and extensions

python_files is a list of pure python dependencies as modulegraph.Module objects,

extensions is a list of platform-specific C extension dependencies as modulegraph.Module objects

modulegraph.find_modules.parse_mf_results(mf)

Return two lists: the first one contains the python files in the graph, the second the C extensions.

Parameters:mf – a modulegraph.modulegraph.ModuleGraph instance

Lower-level functionality

The functionality in this section is much lower level and should probably not be used. It’s mostly documented as a convenience for maintainers.

modulegraph.find_modules.get_implies()

Return a mapping of implied dependencies. The key is a, possibly dotted, module name and the value a list of dependencies.

This contains hardcoded list of hard dependencies, for example for C extensions in the standard libary that perform imports in C code, which the generic dependency finder cannot locate.

modulegraph.find_modules.plat_prepare(includes, packages, excludes)

Updates the lists of includes, packages and excludes for the current platform. This will add items to these lists based on hardcoded platform information.

modulegraph.find_modules.find_needed_modules([mf[, scripts[, includes[, packages[, warn]]]]])

Feeds the given ModuleGraph with the scripts, includes and packages and returns the resulting graph. This function will create a new graph when mf is not specified or None.
