Locates and validates source code repositories for Python packages using PyPI metadata and web search.
Source Finder simplifies the process of discovering Python package source code by systematically analyzing PyPI metadata, project URLs, and major hosting platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. It provides deterministic results accompanied by confidence scores—high, medium, or low—to help developers quickly identify official repositories for code inspection, documentation, or issue tracking. By combining automated metadata extraction with fallback web search capabilities, it ensures high accuracy for even obscure or poorly documented packages.
