Source Finder

About

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.

Key Features

• Fallback web search for low-confidence results
• Automated PyPI metadata and project URL analysis
• Structured JSON output including methodology and warnings
• Confidence-based scoring for repository matches
• 8 GitHub stars
• Support for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket platforms

Use Cases

• Automating dependency research during security or licensing audits
• Finding the official repository for a Python package to inspect its source code
• Locating documentation and issue trackers for open-source libraries
