Support Python

[egraether]

starting point: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/ast.html

[term-inal]

you can also start with gast: https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/gast
It uses standard ast module from python but support many python versions (and syntax specificities in one module)

@term-inal Thanks for pointing us there! Getting some AST info for Python code will be surely the first step once we start tackeling that language.
After that the next (and probably most complicated) step will be getting some kind of type information on all the objects used in the code that should be indexed.

Adding my voice as someone who'd find this valuable and be able to buy the product for work.

We created the SourcetrailDB library to allow anyone to write custom indexers and extend language support for Sourcetrail.

And as next language we started working on a Sourcetrail Python indexer using jedi and SourcetrailDB. It's only an early prototype right now, but it looks promising. I will post updates here. Please let us know if you want to get involved!
