PyVizAST is a tool made for anyone who wants to see how Python code is structured. It shows the building blocks of Python programs in a clear visual way. It also helps find simple problems in the code without running it. This makes it easier to understand, fix, or improve Python scripts.
You do not need to know Python or programming to use it. The software works on Windows computers and provides a friendly interface to explore Python code shapes and parts.
- See the structure of Python code with pictures.
- Find code smells and issues in your scripts without coding knowledge.
- Help developers and learners understand code layouts.
- Supports visual debugging by showing the flow of commands.
- Works well with many Python versions.
- Easy to install and run on Windows.
- Visualize syntax trees for Python files.
- Static analysis to spot common code problems.
- Interactive charts and tree views using clear diagrams.
