Abstract

PyCscope V1.0 has been released and we want to bring folks up to speed on the current state of its features and a bit about how it works.

Many bug fixes have been made to it, including addressing Python 3 support and errors handling symbol assignment tracking. We plan to show how we addressed both of these problems via diagrams and code examples.

CScope has been around for years, and is a very useful tool to getting a handle on C source code. PyCscope is an attempt to bring those benefits to the world of Python.
