spaghetti

Search Python function/method definitions and usage from commandline

TODO

• Support more languages
• Smarater detection of the end of a method/function
• Support config files for projects
• Support root directory arg
• Regex for exclude_patterns flag
• Framework-aware searching. I exclude urls.py from my Django project search only because it breaks my currently limited functionality. Should recognize routes pointing to the method searched for instead of... break.

Wat is this

Spaghetti walks a directory tree recursively and searches for a Python function/method name. The definition and blocks of code surrounding calls are printed on stdout.

I wrote this because I find myself running grep -r 'method_name' . pretty often and instead of popping open every file, I'd rather just see the whole call in the terminal.

Usage

• For now, cd to the root directory, support for passing a root arg, and config file to be done soon!

• --exclude_patterns : comma-separated list of strings to ignore when walking the dirctory path
