FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce clean module boundaries in a Python project?

Enforce clean module boundaries in a Python project by reviewing the repository layout to ensure separation of concerns and predictable import paths. This process identifies boundary smells and proposes safe, incremental refactoring changes.

What is the best Python project structure for a CLI tool or service?

The best Python project structure for a CLI tool or service uses a maintainable layout with clear naming and strict separation of concerns. Guided reviews help assess and improve organization tailored to libraries, CLIs, services, and workers.

How do I fix circular import errors during a Python module refactor?

Fix circular import errors during a Python module refactor by clarifying module boundaries and enforcing a predictable import path structure. Boundary-focused refactoring prompts help identify the underlying separation of concerns issues and propose safe changes.

Does this Python project structure review work for large repositories?

Yes, this Python project structure review works for large repositories. It applies to Python projects of varying sizes, providing actionable recommendations to enforce clear module boundaries and maintainable layouts across complex codebases.

How do I plan a maintainable layout before splitting a monolithic Python codebase?

Plan a maintainable layout before splitting a monolithic Python codebase by mapping out clear module boundaries and predictable import paths. This planning enforces separation of concerns across libraries, services, and workers before refactoring begins.
