  =0AHello.=0A=0AI'v written a small script that prints the number of lines=
=0A of code of a python program to stdout (by module, function, class and =
=0Amethod), the sources are available online here=A0 https://www.assembla.c=
om/code/tahar/subversion/nodes. The readme has an example usage as well as =
a trace of what the script prints.=0A=0AThe=0A problem is that I'm using th=
e inspect module, because it provides a =0Anice function inspect.getsourcel=
ines that takes a python object and =0Areturn its number of lines of code. =
BUT, it works on live objects, that =0Ameans one has to first import the mo=
dule he wants to process, and this =0Acan have side effects (example : GUI =
programs).=0A=0ASo my question is=0A how can one count the number of lines =
of code of a python program =0Awithout importing it (static code analysis) =
? =0A=0ASome people on IRC=0A advised me to look for the AST module. Can yo=
u give me a little help on=0A how to use this module to count the number of=
 lines of code of a =0Afunction/method ?=0A=0AThanks in advance for your he=
lp.
