Overview

belugas-python is an engine for detecting application features for Python projects based on static analysis, in other words belugas-python engine can detect the language & framework your Python application is using.

This engine works as command line interface on your local machine of a Docker container:

Why?

belugas-python is part of the Whales ecosystem: A set of tools to automatically dockerize your applications.

What is a feature?

A feature is an application attribute detected during the static analysis. This analysis is the act of derivating data from code such as programming language, frameworks, service dependencies and so on. See here for a list of attributes this engines currently supports.

A feature has the following format:

{
  "type":"feature",
  "name":"Python",
  "version":"2.7",
  "description":"The application uses Python code",
  "content":"",
  "categories":["Language"],
  "cue_locations":[""],
  "engines":["belugas","belugas-python"]
}

Supported Features

We currently only have support for a small set of libraries, you can easily find them here and you can easily add them by placing a pull request.

Installation

Prerequisites

The Belugas Python CLI is distributed and run as a Docker image, so you only need to have Docker installed and running on your machine.

Setup

Fire up your terminal and run:

docker pull gueils/belugas-python:development

And that's it!

Usage

Here's where the magic begins, first of all in your terminal go to the project directory you want to analyze:

cd code/path_to_project/

And then just execute the following command:

docker run \
  --interactive --tty --rm \
  --volume "$PWD":/code \
  gueils/belugas-python:development

And voilá! The terminal will stream a json output for each of the features detected in the following format:

{
  "type":"feature",
  "name":"django",
  "version":"",
  "description":"The application uses django",
  "categories":["Framework"],
  "cue_locations":[""]
}
{
  "type":"feature",
  "name":"Python",
  "version":"2.7",
  "description":"The application uses Python code",
  "categories":["Language"]
}
