whoimports: AST-based tool finds Python import dependencies

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

whoimports is a zero-dependency Python CLI that uses AST parsing to find all import statements referencing a given module, ignoring comments and strings. It supports file paths, dotted module names, src/ layouts, and outputs text, JSON, or Markdown. The tool helps developers safely rename, move, or delete modules by revealing who still imports them.

Meridian48 take
A practical, no-frills utility that solves a real refactoring pain point without the overhead of a full dependency graph tool.
