objgraph
is a module that lets you visually explore Python object graphs.
You'll need graphviz <https://www.graphviz.org/>
_ if you want to draw
the pretty graphs.
I recommend xdot <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xdot>
_ for interactive use.
pip install xdot
should suffice; objgraph will automatically look for it
in your PATH
.
Installation and Documentation
pip install objgraph
or download it from PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/objgraph>
_.
Documentation lives at https://mg.pov.lt/objgraph.

History
I've developed a set of functions that eventually became objgraph when I
was hunting for memory leaks in a Python program. The whole story -- with
illustrated examples -- is in this series of blog posts:
Hunting memory leaks in Python <https://mg.pov.lt/blog/hunting-python-memleaks.html>
