pyloc (Python Lines of Code) is a CLI app written in Python to print the true number of lines of Python code in a project directory or file. Excludes # comments, docstring lines and pure whitespace lines.
In your shell, cd to the directory containing pyloc and then do
./pyloc projectdir
where projectdir is the path to your project directory. For example ./pyloc ~/Desktop/clones/pandas. The result is the sum of all true Python lines of code across all .py files in projectdir. You can also use pyloc on a single file e.g. ./pyloc ~/my_amazing_script.py.
You can optionally specify a pattern to match filenames with the -p option. For example,
./pyloc ~/Desktop/clones/pandas -p "test_*.py"
prints the true number of lines of Python code in all the test files.
Other options:
./pyloc ~/Desktop/clones/pandas -a
prints the lines of code in each .py file, along with the total across all files.
./pyloc ~/Desktop/clones/pandas -s
prints the statistics (mean, median and max) of lines of code, along with the total across all files.
You can also combine options, for example,
./pyloc ~/Desktop/clones/pandas -sa -p "test_*.py"
Make sure pyloc has executable permissions. If not, do chmod +x ./pyloc in your terminal.
To use pyloc directly like a command in your terminal, add it to your PATH. For example, for zsh users: to the configuration file ~/.zshrc, add the line
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin, create the directories with mkdir ~/.local and mkdir ~/.local/bin, and then do cp ./pyloc ~/.local/bin/pyloc.
You can now just cd to the project directory you are interested in and simply do
pyloc .
