Extract Dependencies
Analyze import statements and identify all external and internal module dependencies in codebase.
When to Use
- •Understanding module coupling
- •Planning dependency updates
- •Identifying circular dependencies
- •Generating dependency graphs
Quick Reference
bash
# Python dependency extraction
grep -r "^import\|^from" --include="*.py" . | sort | uniq
# Generate dependency graph
pipdeptree
# Check for circular dependencies
python3 -c "import ast; [print(f.name) for f in ast.walk(ast.parse(open('file.py').read())) if isinstance(f, ast.Import)]"
Workflow
- •Scan imports: Extract all import statements from codebase
- •Categorize dependencies: Separate external, internal, standard library
- •Map relationships: Create graph of which modules import which
- •Identify chains: Trace dependency chains (A→B→C)
- •Report analysis: Document dependency structure and issues
Output Format
Dependency analysis:
- •External dependencies (with versions)
- •Internal module dependencies
- •Dependency graph (text or ASCII art)
- •Circular dependencies (if found)
- •Recommended import order
- •Unnecessary or redundant dependencies
