  1. deep-ast

    Walk the AST for every callable in your code.

    I also wrote a somewhat similar tool. I call it deep-ast. It's pretty flexible in what it can track. I used it when refactoring some code in urllib3, to see what Exceptions could get raised along a given code path.

  3. implot

    Immediate Mode Plotting

    ImPlot is small and worth checking out if you don't want to make the plotting functions yourself. https://github.com/epezent/implot

  4. python-preloaded

    Bundle Python executable with preloaded modules

    At the other extreme, checkpointing the whole process once all imports have been resolved and restoring it for every execution can be used for frequently-run tools: https://github.com/albertz/python-preloaded
