It works similarly to sloccount and cloc but leverages pygments' language detection to analyze a wide range of file types without needing language-specific parsers.\n\nYou run it from the shell to get per-file line counts, language summaries with percentages, or export results in cloc-compatible XML format for integration with CI/CD systems like Jenkins. It can analyze local folders, filter by file suffix, and even check out specific git revisions directly from remote URLs without cloning.","worth_installing":"Yes. Pygount is a stable, actively maintained tool with low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing. Install it if you need to measure code volume across multiple languages or integrate SLOC reporting into your build pipeline."},"id":"pygount","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygount","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygount.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pygount/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-08","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pygount","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"count source lines of code (SLOC) using pygments"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":719788,"position":5238,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.0"}
