# MethodenAnalyser

> Static Python code analyzer with a local Tkinter GUI, CLI mode, JSON reports and an optional local browser helper.

## Canonical Links

- Repository: https://github.com/dev-bricks/MethodenAnalyser
- Documentation: https://github.com/dev-bricks/MethodenAnalyser#readme
- Issues: https://github.com/dev-bricks/MethodenAnalyser/issues

## What It Does

MethodenAnalyser analyzes Python files and project folders locally with Python AST logic. It finds unused imports, unused definitions, missing definitions/imports, duplicate imports and similar code blocks. The app is Windows-first, has no external runtime dependencies and can also run from source on macOS and Linux.

## Interfaces

- Desktop GUI: `python MethodenAnalyser3.py` or `START.bat` on Windows.
- CLI file analysis: `python MethodenAnalyser3.py --file path/to/file.py`.
- CLI project analysis: `python MethodenAnalyser3.py --project path/to/project`.
- JSON export: add `--json-output` or pass a target JSON filename.
- Local web helper: `python webapp/server.py` or `START_WEBAPP.bat`.

## Data And Privacy

All analysis runs locally. The tool does not include telemetry, cloud sync, external APIs or CDN dependencies. Source code and reports stay on the user's machine unless the user explicitly shares them.

## Scope

- Good fit: local Python project review, refactoring preparation, code cleanup, LLM/CI automation gates and Microsoft Store desktop packaging.
- Not a goal: cloud analysis service, native Android/iOS app, remote code upload or full browser replacement for local project-folder analysis.

## Main Files

- `README.md`: user-facing overview and quickstart.
- `README_de.md`: German translation and localized documentation.
- `EXPORTFORMAT.md`: `methodenanalyser-report-v1.json` schema.
- `WEBAPP.md`: local browser helper details.
- `.github/workflows/tests.yml`: Windows, Ubuntu and macOS smoke matrix.

## Audience

- Python developers who want a dependency-free, local static code analyzer with GUI
- Windows developers looking for an offline-first code quality tool without cloud dependencies
- Development teams using CI/CD pipelines that need structured JSON output for automated analysis
- Developers preparing Python projects for refactoring or cleanup
- Python beginners who want an accessible, readable AST-based tool to explore their own code
