|| Pythius Homepage
Pythius is a set of tools to assess the quality of Python code. This is
commonly done by applying different code metrics. Simple code
metrics are the ratio between comments and code lines, module and
function size, etc.
The immediate goal of the project is to start implementing the simple
metrics, and discover more complex code metrics or adapt them from other
The project's name has two origins:
In Greek mythology, Python was a serpent that dwelt in the caves of
Mount Parnassus and was slain by Apollo. After that, Apollo bore the
epithet of Pythius. The aim of this project is to contribute
to the death of bad Python code, by recognizing said code.
The second origin is the Greek architect Pythius, who was said
to have built The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of The Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World, about 353 B.C. He also built the
Temple of Athena Polias in the ancient city Priene.
The temple was recognized in ancient times as the classic example of the
pure Ionic style. Similarly, we want to enable developers to build pure
Pythonic code that resembles the beautiful style of Greek architecture.
