Package name : python-bowler Version : x.y.z Upstream Author : © Facebook, John Reese <j...@noswap.com> URL : https://github.com/facebookincubator/Bowler License : Expat Programming Lang: Python Description : safe code refactoring for modern Python projects Bowler is a refactoring tool for manipulating Python at the syntax tree level. It enables safe, large scale code modifications while guaranteeing that the resulting code compiles and runs. It provides both a simple command line interface and a fluent API in Python for generating complex code modifications in code. Bowler uses a "fluent" Query API to build refactoring scripts through a series of selectors, filters, and modifiers. Many simple modifications are already possible using the existing API, but you can also provide custom selectors, filters, and modifiers as needed to build more complex or custom refactorings. -- Bowler is an alternative to Rope. It's supposed to be quite a bit better, but I haven't tested it yet. I believe it has a more active upstream than Rope. It may become a dependency for Elpy in the future. I plan to maintain it as part of the DPMT or PAPT, and I will need a sponsor for the initial upload. Regards, Nicholas
