About:
Johnnydep recursively analyzes Python package dependencies to display a complete dependency tree. It resolves version constraints and can identify potential conflicts or missing dependencies. The tool provides detailed metadata inspection for any Python distribution available on PyPI.
Key Features:
  • Recursive dependency resolution with version constraint analysis
  • Detailed metadata inspection for PyPI packages
  • Conflict detection and warning system
  • Multiple output formats including JSON and ASCII trees
  • Caching mechanism for faster subsequent lookups
Use Cases:
  • Debugging complex dependency conflicts in Python projects
  • Auditing third-party package dependencies for security or compliance
  • Understanding the full dependency impact before upgrading packages
Alternatives:
  • pipdeptree – pipdeptree shows installed dependencies, while Johnnydep can analyze packages before installation and handles version constraints better
  • pip-tools – pip-tools focuses on dependency resolution for lock files, Johnnydep focuses on visualization and analysis
