Visualizing Contributor Code Competency for PyPI Libraries: Preliminary Results
Python is known to be used by beginners to professional programmers. Python provides functionality to its community of users through PyPI libraries, that allow developers to reuse functionalities to an application. However, it is unknown the extent to which these PyPI libraries require proficient code in their implementation. We conjecture that PyPI contributors may decide to implement more advanced Pythonic code, or stick with more basic Python code. Are complex codes only committed by few contributors, or only to specific files? The new idea in this paper is to confirm who and where complex code is implemented. Hence, we present a visualization to show the relationship between proficient code, contributors, and files. Analyzing four PyPI projects, we are able to explore which files contain more elegant code, and which contributors committed to these files. Our results show that most files contain more basic competency files, and that not every contributor contributes competent code. We show how are visualization is able to summarize such information, and opens up different possibilities for understanding how to make elegant contributions.
