pfynder

Intro

pfynder is a simple tool to find function, object, and method names, usually in a Jupyter notebook.

Dependencies

It so far relies on a Linux environment, calling find and grep behind-the-scenes and then presents it nicely on the screen.

Usage

It supports basic usage for searching a package (here "matplotlib") for a string ("xlim"):

>>> from pfynder import pfynd
>>> pfynd("matplotlib","xlim")
matplotlib
	axes:
		get_xlim
		set_xlim
	pyplot:
		xlim
	tests:
		lower_xlim
		upper_xlim
	projections:
		set_xlim

Wishlist

Future development:

• search all installed packages (also from other venvs)
• use pure python (e.g. pkg-resources)
• tab-completion (please help!)
