SYNOPSIS

pymetrics [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pymetrics command

pymetrics is a program that produces metrics for Python programs. Metrics include McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity metric, LoC, %Comments, etc. Users can also define their own metrics using data from PyMetrics. PyMetrics optionally outputs to stdout, SQL command files and CSV files.

OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-s SQLFILENAME, --sql=SQLFILENAME

name of output SQL command file. (Default is metricData.sql)

-t SQLTOKENTABLENAME, --tokentable=SQLTOKENTABLENAME

name of output SQL token table. (Default is metricTokens)

-m SQLMETRICSTABLENAME, --metricstable=SQLMETRICSTABLENAME

name of output SQL metrics table. (Default is metricData)

-c CSVFILENAME, --csv=CSVFILENAME

name of output CSV data file. (Default is metricData.csv)

-f INFILELIST, --files=INFILELIST

File containing list of path names to modules for analysis.

-i INCLUDEMETRICSSTR, --include=INCLUDEMETRICSSTR

list of metrics to include in run. This is a comma separated list of metric module names with no whitespace. Optionally, you can specify the class name of the metric by following the module name with a colon (:) and the metric class name. (Default metrics are 'simple:SimpleMetric,mccabe:McCabeMetric,sloc:SLOC Metric'. Default metric class name for metric module 'wxYz' is 'WxYzMetric' when only module name given -- note capitalized metric class name.)

-l LIBNAME, --library=LIBNAME

user-defined name applied to collection of modules (Default is '')

-e, --exists

assume SQL tables exist and does not generate creation code. Using this option sets option -N. (Default is False)

-N, --noold

create new command output files and tables after deleting old results, if any. Ignored if -e is set. (Default is False)

-B, --nobasic

suppress production of Basic metrics (Default is False)

-S, --nosql

suppress production of output SQL command text file. (Default is False)

-C, --nocsv

suppress production of CSV output text file. (Default is False)

-H, --noheadings

suppress heading line in csv file. (Default is False)

-k, --kwcnt

generate keyword counts. (Default is False)

-K, --nokwcnt

suppress keyword counts. (Default is True)

-q, --quiet

suppress normal summary output to stdout. (Default is False)

-z, --zero

display zero or empty values in output to stdout. (Default is to suppress zero/empty output)
