Websourcebrowser

Purpose

Websourcebrowser makes it easy to visually scan trees of source code. In particular, you can view the directory tree and the source code of a file side by side, so you can quickly change to a different file. Get release 0.3.1 (alpha).

Features

• Platform-independent, any web browser can be used to view the source code
• Includes a small webserver, so the source code and the browser to view it can be on different computers
• By default, they are on the same computer :-)
• If Pygments is installed on the server side, which may be the local computer, source code is automatically highlighted
• Image files supported by the browser are displayed
• Binary files are displayed as hexdumps
• Written in portable Python
• Open Source (MIT license)
