It has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly.\n\nThe package is primarily used as a building block for hot-reload and live-coding tools (notably jurigged). It exposes three main operations: find_code() to retrieve a code object from a module, get_functions() to enumerate all functions referencing a given code object, and conform() to swap one function's code for another's. This enables runtime patching of functions and their closures without reloading modules.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a hot-reload or live-coding tool and accept the maintenance risk. The package is lightweight, has no dependencies, and solves a specific low-level problem well. However, maintenance is dormant, licensing is undeclared, and it is a niche tool\u2014install only if you have a concrete use case and can tolerate lack of active support."},"id":"codefind","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/codefind","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/codefind.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/codefind/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"codefind","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Find code objects and their referents"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":571784,"position":5947,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.7"}
