friends, you got any favorite libraries to help introspect large import trees? (use cases: providing feedback during the early import-the-world phase of loading a monorepo; determining how to extract internal dependencies or resolve cycles; etc)

My fallback is to just whip something up with sys.meta_path finders, but smells like the kinda use case where there might be a nice handy lib already on PyPI.

EDIT: see social.coop/@bitprophet/115714 for a stdlib resolution. batteries included, baby!

I have something I'm vaguely happy with using #Python stdlib sys.settrace. Asciinema showing the output (albeit against a quite small personal CLI-tasks repo with merely hundreds of overall import events): https://asciinema.org/a/0vmMFVTjAy1NcsBg8vhpSDRnq Gist showing the code: https://gist.github.com/bitprophet/a948502aa7d8017c626a007202804743 Def excited to try this on the dayjob monorepo's Invoke tasks Monday tho. Should help remove what is currently a "…is something broken?" 2-5s delay prior to execution, due to A Whole Lot Of Importing.
