deptry 0.14.0 was just released, bringing significant speed improvements: It is now up to 10 times faster than the previous release!
For those unfamiliar with deptry; deptry is a command line tool to check for issues with dependencies in a Python project, such as unused or missing dependencies.
The performance improvement was achieved by leveraging Rust to parse the AST and extract the import statements from .py files, rather than using Python's ast module.
The addition of Rust to the project also opens up doors for more optimizations in the future, so stay tuned!
