Show HN: Pyscn – Python code quality analyzer for vibe coders Hi HN! I built pyscn for Python developers in the vibe coding era. If you're using Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT to ship Python code fast, you know the feeling: features work, tests pass, but the codebase feels... messy.

Common vibe coding artifacts:

• Code duplication (from copy-pasted snippets)

• Dead code from quick iterations

• Over-engineered solutions for simple problems

• Inconsistent patterns across modules

pyscn performs structural analysis:

• APTED tree edit distance + LSH

• Control-Flow Graph (CFG) analysis

• Coupling Between Objects (CBO)

• Cyclomatic Complexity

Try it without installation:

  uvx pyscn analyze .          # Using uv (fastest)
  pipx run pyscn analyze .     # Using pipx
  (Or install: pip install pyscn)

Built with Go + tree-sitter. Happy to dive into the implementation details!
