An experimental Python library for program slicing that decomposes source code using various dependence graphs to aid in code analysis and refactoring.
Program Slicing. Experimental library.
This tool is designed for developers and researchers who need to analyze and decompose source code to identify method refactoring opportunities or understand code dependencies. It can be used as a command-line tool or integrated as a Python submodule for automated security analysis or DevSecOps workflows.
Requires Python 3.9 and a compatible C compiler installed. Access to the global network is needed for pip installation. The tool can be used both as a CLI and as a submodule within other Python projects, enabling flexible integration in security automation and DevSecOps pipelines.
