removeprintstatements 0.5.2

remove-print-statements

A command-line tool (and pre-commit hook) to remove all the print statements
from your Python project.

Do you use print statements for debugging? We all do, and there's nothing wrong
with it. After the bug has been resolved, we need to manually open all the files
which we added the print statements in, only if we remember all of them after
hours of debugging, and remove them. A better way would be to use some sort of
find and replace from the editor or command-line, but that's still a lot of
manual work. Worst case, it gets pushed and deployed to production.
Who wants to do all the manual work in the age of automation? No one. So,
install this tool and forget about removing the print statements manually
forever. You could either run this tool manually or add it as a pre-commit
hook. You could even preview the print statements along with it's location
without removing it. How nice is that!
Installation
You can install remove-print-statements from the Python Package Index (PyPI)
with pipx or equivalent.
pipx install remove-print-statements

Or, try it out using pipx:
pipx run remove-print-statements --help

Or, with pre-commit in the repos section of your
.pre-commit-config.yaml file (docs):
- repo: https://github.com/dhruvmanila/remove-print-statements
rev: '' # Replace with latest tag on GitHub
hooks:
- id: remove-print-statements
# args: ['--verbose'] # Show all the print statements to be removed

Usage
Run it on a given set of files:
remove-print-statements foo.py bar.py ...
# or use globbing
remove-print-statements *.py

You can ignore files as well. To specify multiple files to ignore, use the flag
multiple times otherwise it's difficult to know the difference between the files
to ignore and the ones to check.
remove-print-statements *.py --ignore foo.py --ignore bar.py

You can preview the print statements which would be removed without modifying
the source files using both --dry-run and --verbose flags like so:
$ remove-print-statements --dry-run --verbose test.py
test.py
7 print("module")
18 print("property")
27 print("method")
29 print("for loop")

1 file would be transformed, 4 print statements would be removed

remove-print-statements is a command-line tool that rewrites the files in
place. It focuses on upgrading your code and not on making it look nice. Run
remove-print-statements before formatters like Black.
remove-print-statements does not have any ability to recurse through
directories. Use the pre-commit integration, globbing, or another technique for
applying to many files such as with git ls-files | xargs.
Single statement
If there's only a single statement in the body of a function, for/while loop, if
statement, etc., which is a print statement, then it will be replaced with the
pass keyword.
def foo():
- print()
+ pass

for _ in range(5):
- print()
+ pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
- print()
+ pass
