I need a small utility to count the lines of Python code in a
directory, traversing subdirectories and ignoring comments and
docstrings. I am sure there is already something doing that, what do
you suggest?

TIA,

Michele Simionato

I suggest typing your subject line into google and hitting the "I feel
lucky" button :)

HTH,

Any of the static code checkers ('pylint', 'pyflakes', etc.) would
already be doing this.

You would at least be able to crib from them, maybe import the
functionality; ideally they can directly report what you want to see.

I did not known about cloc, it does more that I need, but it looks
cool (it is perl and not Python, by who cares? ;)

Thanks,

pylint does too many things, I want something fast that just counts
the lines and can be run on thousands of files at once.
cloc seems fine, I have just tried on 2,000 files and it gives me a
report in just a few seconds.
