Hi HN! I built pyscn for Python developers in the vibe coding era. If you're using Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT to ship Python code fast, you know the feeling: features work, tests pass, but the codebase feels... messy.

Common vibe coding artifacts:

• Code duplication (from copy-pasted snippets)

• Dead code from quick iterations

• Over-engineered solutions for simple problems

• Inconsistent patterns across modules

pyscn performs structural analysis:

• APTED tree edit distance + LSH

• Control-Flow Graph (CFG) analysis

• Coupling Between Objects (CBO)

• Cyclomatic Complexity

Try it without installation:

  uvx pyscn analyze .          # Using uv (fastest)
  pipx run pyscn analyze .     # Using pipx
  (Or install: pip install pyscn)

Built with Go + tree-sitter. Happy to dive into the implementation details!

Very cool! I've never seen a cli that opens an html file when it's finished. I kinda like it, hope to see more of that in the future

This is fairly common with linting/test coverage tools
