A library to calculate python dependency graphs.
Importlab is a library for Python that automatically infers dependencies and calculates a dependency graph. It can perform dependency ordering of a set of files, including cycle detection.
Importlab's main use case is to work with static analysis tools that process one file at a time, ensuring that a file's dependencies are analysed before it is.

Importlab is primarily intended to be used as a library. It takes one or more python files as arguments, and generates an import graph, typically used to process files in dependency order.
It is currently integrated into
pytype <https://github.com/google/pytype>

Importlab ships with a small command-line tool, also called
importlab
, which can display some information about a project's
import graph.
