I'm sure I'm not using the conventional names for this tool, more of a
cross-referencer?. I couldn't find it on Google, I think for this reason.
I need a tool that will go through a python module (ClientForm in this case)
and allow me to specify a starting module to parse and tell me what all it
uses.
What I'm trying to do is to take ClientForm apart enough to pull out just the
html form parsing code in it and use it elsewhere. It would be MUCH easier
when approaching someone elses code if I could see what all functions are
called by a given function, etc.
TIA,
Scott 5 3604

Because python is a dynamical typed non image language there is no
tool that can do this and there never will be any (at least one that
is not using heuristics or sampled data from previous runs).

hmmm... I think (some) static analysis may be possible. The main
thing to exclude is eval/exec but even then, yes you're right, some
programs would just have to be run to find out what they do.
I remember reading some interesting things here: http://www.python.org/doc/essays/cp4e.html
In particular:
"Cormac Flanagan and Matthias Felleisen.

It it is not only eval/exec. You can create methods dynamically. And static
analysis will already run into trouble when you import moduls dynamically.
What I do very often is "rename" a procedure, e.g. in cases as:
def pVersion1(): ...
def pVersion2(): ...
if....
p=pVersion1
This is not even tricky.

Whats with code like:
if foo:
def myfunc():
... do something
else:
def myfunc():
... calling your_func()
A Language where the program calling hierarchie depends on runtime
calculations is not able to provide good refactoring tools or static
flow analysis. This is the huge difference to a language like
Smalltalk where we live in an image.
And if you say that this is a hack, then you are making a big mistake,
look at currently used code and you will find so much uses of this
style (or even worse styles) that it seems to be a common paradigm.

Which only begins to hint at what is possible with metaclasses ;-)

Hi,
i create my GUIs mainly via wxGlade. However when you start of to
program and want to do some rearranging to the gui, wxglade overwrites
your file and you've got to put your own code back in.
I think i can work around that (at least a bit) by making a second file
that imports the gui generated by wxglade and make classes that extend
the original ones.
For instance i could have a class MainForm that extends the wxFrame

Hey Guys,
Today we are going to look at Code Access Security.
Code access security is a feature of .NET that manages code depending on its
trust level. If the CLS trusts the code enough to allow it ro run then it
will execute, the code execution depends on the permission provided to the
assembly. If the code is not trusted wnough to run or it attempts to perform
an action which doe not have the required permissions then its execution...
