history

Project history and usage

pyscn is a command-line static-analysis and code-quality tool for Python, covering such concerns as complexity, dead code, duplicated code, coupling, and report generation.

Project history

Ludo Technologies developed pyscn as a Python code-quality analyzer implemented as a command-line application. The official architecture records completion of its initial feature set in September 2025, including tree-sitter parsing, control-flow graphs, complexity analysis, dead-code detection, clone detection, coupling analysis, reporting, and TOML configuration.

Adoption history

pyscn is distributed as a standalone command-line program and through Homebrew. Its official project materials position it for local code review and automated quality analysis, with machine-readable formats suitable for CI integrations.

How it is used

Users run the pyscn executable against Python source trees to inspect quality findings. The tool supports dedicated and pyproject-based TOML configuration and can produce human-readable or automation-oriented reports.

Why package nerds care

The package is notable as a Go-distributed analyzer focused specifically on Python source. That combination can offer a self-contained CLI installation while applying compiler-style graph and syntax analysis to Python projects.

Timeline

  • September 2025: The official architecture marked the MVP feature set complete.
  • 2025: TOML configuration discovery and the principal analysis features were documented as completed.
  • Current: pyscn is available through Homebrew as the pyscn formula.

Related projects

  • polyscan supplies shared, language-neutral analysis kernels referenced by the official architecture.
  • Tree-sitter provides parsing infrastructure used by the analyzer.
