New blog post: Metrics

Over the years I’ve used a number of different ways of measuring software. The following is a roughly chronological account. [...]

#SoftwareDevelopment #CodeMetrics

So I've created a #wily report for one thousand Black (the Python formatter) commits.

You can see that there was a huge (and complex), 7k lines __init__.py that got broken up around May 2021.

There's a trend of increasing LOC and complexity.

This report shows me there's a lot to improve in wily's code. Hopefully I'm back at that.

Mike Driscoll: Learning About Code Metrics in #Python with Radon

Nice introduction to #radon:

"""
You can use Radon to help you find complex code in your code base.
[...]
Here are the four commands that radon currently can use:

cc: compute #Cyclomatic #Complexity
raw: compute raw metrics
mi: compute #Maintainability Index
hal: compute #Halstead complexity metrics
[...]
