Python Object Graphs
====================
``objgraph`` is a module that lets you visually explore Python object graphs.
You'll need `graphviz <https://www.graphviz.org/>`_ if you want to draw
the pretty graphs.
I recommend `xdot <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xdot>`_ for interactive use.
``pip install xdot`` should suffice; objgraph will automatically look for it
in your ``PATH``.
Installation and Documentation
------------------------------
``pip install objgraph`` or `download it from PyPI
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/objgraph>`_.
Documentation lives at https://mg.pov.lt/objgraph.

History
-------
I've developed a set of functions that eventually became objgraph when I
was hunting for memory leaks in a Python program. The whole story -- with
illustrated examples -- is in this series of blog posts:
* `Hunting memory leaks in Python
<https://mg.pov.lt/blog/hunting-python-memleaks.html>`_
* `Python object graphs
<https://mg.pov.lt/blog/python-object-graphs.html>`_
* `Object graphs with graphviz
