modulegraph 0.16

modulegraph determines a dependency graph between Python modules primarily
by bytecode analysis for import statements.

modulegraph uses similar methods to modulefinder from the standard library,
but uses a more flexible internal representation, has more extensive
knowledge of special cases, and is extensible.

Release history
===============

0.16
----

Features:

* Add LICENSE file to distribution

* Don't rely on pkg_resources to calculate package version

* Replace use of ``optparse`` by ``argparse`` as the former is deprecated

Patch by htgoebel

* Attempt to reduce the maximum recursion needed to create the ModuleGraph

* Don't include the file type in the result from ``zipio.getmode``

* Fix mismatched indents/dedents in ModuleGraph debug output

Patch by codewarrior0

Bug fixes:

* Testsuite now passes on Windows (testd through appveyor)

This only required changes to remove platform dependencies
from the test suite.

0.15
----

Features:

* Issue #39: Traceback with for a syntax error when compiling async function

On Python 3.5 some (invalid) async function definitions caused a modulegraph
traceback, instead of adding "InvalidSourceModule" nodes to the graph.

* Issue #40: The graph now contains nodes of type "InvalidRelativeImport" for
attempts to use relative imports that walk outside of a toplevel
package.

* Module ``modulegraph.find_modules`` can no longer be used a script,
use ``python -m modulegraph`` instead.

Bugfixes:

* Issue 38: Dot output broken in Python 3

Patch by user elnuno on bitbucket.

* Issue 36: Make sure test suite works on systems other than macOS

Patch by Hartmut Goebel

* Add support for "async def" to the AST scanner, needed to
properly recognize imports in async function definitions.

0.14
----

Bugfixes:

* #33: Error scanning bytecode on python 3.4 or later

The code using ``dis.get_instructions`` to scan the bytecode
on Python 3.4 or later didn't work properly causing problems
when trying to scan bytecode.

0.13
----

* Various documentation fixes by Thomas Kluyver.

* Fix incompatibility with recent versions of setuptools

See also `issue #206 in py2apps tracker <https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app/issues/206/py2app-doesnt-work-with-release-433-of>`_ for more information.

* Python 3: Ignore BOM at start of input files when compiling them.

This matches the behavior of CPython, and avoids hard to diagnose problems.
See also `issue #178 in the py2app tracker <https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app/issues/178/python-3-syntaxerror-invalid-character-in>`_

* Python 3.6 introduced a new bytecode format (wordcode), adjust the
bytecode scanner for that.


0.12.1
------

* Issue #25: Complex python files could cause an "maximum recursion depth exceeded"
exception due to using stack-based recursion to walk the module AST.


0.12
----

* Added 'modulegraph.modulegraph.InvalidSourceModule'. This graph node is
used for Python source modules that cannot be compiled (for example because
they contain syntax errors).

This is primarily useful for being able to create a graph for packages
that have python 2.x or python 3.x compatibility in separate modules that
contain code that isn't valid in the "other" python version.

* Added 'modulegraph.modulegraph.InvalidCompiledModule'. This graph node
is used for Python bytecode modules that cannot be loaded.

* Added 'modulegraph.modulegraph.NamespacePackage'.

Patch by bitbucket user htgoebel.

* No longer add a MissingModule node to the graph for 'collections.defaultdict'
when using 'from collections import defaultdict' ('collections.defaultdict'
is an attribute of 'collections', not a submodule).

* Fixed typo in ModuleGraph.getReferences()

* Added ModuleGraph.getReferers(tonode). This methods yields the
nodes that are referencing *tonode* (the reverse of getReferences)

* The graph will no longer contain MissingModule nodes when using 'from ... import name' to
import a global variable in a python module.

There will still be MissingModule nodes for global variables in C extentions, and
for 'from missing import name' when 'missing' is itself a MissingModule.

* Issue #18: Don't assume that a PEP 302 loader object has a ``path`` attribute. That
attribute is not documented and is not always present.

0.11.2
------

*

0.11.1
------

* Issue #145: Don't exclude the platform specific 'path' modules (like ntpath)

0.11
----

This is a feature release

Features
........

* Hardcode knowlegde about the compatibility aliases in the email
module (for python 2.5 upto 3.0).

This makes it possible to remove a heavy-handed recipe from py2app.

* Added ``modegraph.zipio.getmode`` to fetch the Unix file mode
for a file.

* Added some handy methods to ``modulegraph.modulegraph.ModuleGraph``.

0.10.5
------

This is a bugfix release

* Don't look at the file extension to determine the file type
in modulegraph.find_modules.parse_mf_results, but use the
class of the item.

* Issue #13: Improved handing of bad relative imports
("from .foo import bar"), these tended to raise confusing errors and
are now handled like any other failed import.

0.10.4
------

This is a bugfix release

* There were no 'classifiers' in the package metadata due to a bug
in setup.py.

0.10.3
------

This is a bugfix release

Bugfixes
........

* ``modulegraph.find.modules.parse_mf_results`` failed when the main script of
a py2app module didn't have a file name ending in '.py'.

0.10.2
------

This is a bugfix release

Bugfixes
........

* Issue #12: modulegraph would sometimes find the wrong package *__init__*
module due to using the wrong search method. One easy way to reproduce the
problem was to have a toplevel module named *__init__*.

Reported by Kentzo.

0.10.1
------

This is a bugfix release

Bugfixes
........

* Issue #11: creating xrefs and dotty graphs from modulegraphs (the --xref
and --graph options of py2app) didn't work with python 3 due to use of
APIs that aren't available in that version of python.

Reported by Andrew Barnert.


0.10
----

This is a minor feature release

Features
........

* ``modulegraph.find_modules.find_needed_modules`` claimed to automaticly
include subpackages for the "packages" argument as well, but that code
didn't work at all.

* Issue #9: The modulegraph script is deprecated, use
"python -mmodulegraph" instead.

* Issue #10: Ensure that the result of "zipio.open" can be used
in a with statement (that is, ``with zipio.open(...) as fp``.

* No longer use "2to3" to support Python 3.

Because of this modulegraph now supports Python 2.6
and later.

* Slightly improved HTML output, which makes it easier
to manipulate the generated HTML using JavaScript.

Patch by anatoly techtonik.

* Ensure modulegraph works with changes introduced after
Python 3.3b1.

* Implement support for PEP 420 ("Implicit namespace packages")
in Python 3.3.

* ``modulegraph.util.imp_walk`` is deprecated and will be
removed in the next release of this package.

Bugfixes
........

* The module graph was incomplete, and generated incorrect warnings
along the way, when a subpackage contained import statements for
submodules.

An example of this is ``sqlalchemy.util``, the ``__init__.py`` file
for this package contains imports of modules in that modules using
the classic relative import syntax (that is ``import compat`` to
import ``sqlalchemy.util.compat``). Until this release modulegraph
searched the wrong path to locate these modules (and hence failed
to find them).


0.9.2
-----

This is a bugfix release

Bugfixes
........

* The 'packages' option to modulegraph.find_modules.find_modules ignored
the search path argument but always used the default search path.

* The 'imp_find_modules' function in modulegraph.util has an argument 'path',
this was a string in previous release and can now also be a sequence.

* Don't crash when a module on the 'includes' list doesn't exist, but warn
just like for missing 'packages' (modulegraph.find_modules.find_modules)

0.9.1
-----

This is a bugfix release

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed the name of nodes imports in packages where the first element of
a dotted name can be found but the rest cannot. This used to create
a MissingModule node for the dotted name in the global namespace instead
of relative to the package.

That is, given a package "pkg" with submodule "sub" if the "__init__.py"
of "pkg" contains "import sub.nomod" we now create a MissingModule node
for "pkg.sub.nomod" instead of "sub.nomod".

This fixes an issue with including the crcmod package in application
bundles, first reported on the pythonmac-sig mailinglist by
Brendan Simon.

0.9
---

This is a minor feature release


Features:

- Documentation is now generated using `sphinx <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sphinx>`_
and can be viewed at <http://packages.python.org/modulegraph>.

The documention is very rough at this moment and in need of reorganisation and
language cleanup. I've basiclly writting the current version by reading the code
and documenting what it does, the order in which classes and methods are document
is therefore not necessarily the most useful.

- The repository has moved to bitbucket

- Renamed ``modulegraph.modulegraph.AddPackagePath`` to ``addPackagePath``,
likewise ``ReplacePackage`` is now ``replacePackage``. The old name is still
available, but is deprecated and will be removed before the 1.0 release.

- ``modulegraph.modulegraph`` contains two node types that are unused and
have unclear semantics: ``FlatPackage`` and ``ArchiveModule``. These node
types are deprecated and will be removed before 1.0 is released.

- Added a simple commandline tool (``modulegraph``) that will print information
about the dependency graph of a script.

- Added a module (``zipio``) for dealing with paths that may refer to entries
inside zipfiles (such as source paths referring to modules in zipped eggfiles).

With this addition ``modulegraph.modulegraph.os_listdir`` is deprecated and
it will be removed before the 1.0 release.

Bug fixes:

- The ``__cmp__`` method of a Node no longer causes an exception
when the compared-to object is not a Node. Patch by Ivan Kozik.

- Issue #1: The initialiser for ``modulegraph.ModuleGraph`` caused an exception
when an entry on the path (``sys.path``) doesn't actually exist.

Fix by "skurylo", testcase by Ronald.

- The code no longer worked with python 2.5, this release fixes that.

- Due to the switch to mercurial setuptools will no longer include
all required files. Fixed by adding a MANIFEST.in file

- The method for printing a ``.dot`` representation of a ``ModuleGraph``
works again.


0.8.1
-----

This is a minor feature release

Features:

- ``from __future__ import absolute_import`` is now supported

- Relative imports (``from . import module``) are now supported

- Add support for namespace packages when those are installed
using option ``--single-version-externally-managed`` (part
of setuptools/distribute)

0.8
---

This is a minor feature release

Features:

- Initial support for Python 3.x

- It is now possible to run the test suite
using ``python setup.py test``.

(The actual test suite is still fairly minimal though)
