Static tracker

R2T2 can be used to provide a list of all references that a given package is based on (i.e. all the add_reference decorators it contains) and not just those crossed by a particular run of a script using the package.

For using this method, simply run in the terminal:

$ python -m r2t2 static .

which will scan all the Python files recursively starting in the current directory. By default, it prints the results in the terminal. To analyse a single file, use the flag -s (from static) to prevent r2t2 to treat it as a script to run:

$ python -m r2t2 static my_script.py

To extract dois from the docstrings of a script, pass the --docstring flag:

$ python -m r2t2 static --docstring my_script.py

Similarly, to extract dois from the markdown cells of a Jupyter notebook:

$ python -m r2t2 static --notebook my_notebook.ipynb
