10/27/2022, 8:50 AMWe currently use a separate python script to check for this, but it's proven to be a hard problem (dependency inference, anyone 😄)
Our usecase
1. Easier to enforce SRP, which junior devs might struggle with
2. Modules can be classified at different risk levels in medical devices, and separating code by strict module depedencies makes us not drown in regulatory assessments

I look forward to better methods in the future.

10/27/2022, 2:13 PMPerhaps this is worthy of a GH Discussion topic (if one doesn't exist)? It seems like this comes up a lot, but I haven't fully grokked what each person imagines it might look like. There is also whether this is a python thing vs a cross-backend thing

10/27/2022, 2:14 PMHaving said that, I do something similar - but I don't use tooling to constrain it in python... I just trust people... Or scold them.
