Wily is a command-line application that tracks and reports code complexity and other metrics across the git history of a Python project. It builds a cache of metrics per commit and can diff complexity against previous revisions, making it useful in CI pipelines and pre-commit hooks.

Use cases

• track code complexity trends across git commits
• fail CI when complexity increases in a pull request
• run complexity checks as a pre-commit hook
• report on maintainability metrics for a Python codebase
• compare complexity of current code against a specific git revision
• find files whose complexity has grown over time

When to choose

• you maintain a Python project and want to prevent complexity regressions
• you want historical metric trends derived from git history
• you need a lightweight CLI metric gate for CI or pre-commit

When to avoid

• your project is not in git or not written in Python
• you need runtime performance profiling rather than static complexity metrics
• you need full static analysis with type checking
