Welcome to the CodeTools documentation!¶
The CodeTools project provide a series of modules for analysis and control of code execution. The key components are Blocks, sections of code to execute, and Contexts, dictionary-like objects which are used as namespaces for Block execution. CodeTools is designed to perform such tasks as:
- executing code in a controlled environment
- performing dependency analysis on code so that expensive recalculations can be avoided
- having Traits-aware code listen for changes inside the namespace of executing code
- automatically converting or adapting variables on access from, or assignment to, a namespace
CodeTools depends upon Traits, with an optional dependency on SciMath and Numpy for unit support, but has no major dependencies beyond that.
CodeTools is under active development, so the implementation and API are somewhat fluid.
