Description

Cyclomatic complexity can be useful for checking "understandability" and maintainability of a project, at least on the source code level (as opposed to general design level).

Check out wikipedia definition.

This paper on CC presents a sample of threshold values of CC compared to risk evaluation, which we may use to describe a meaning of a CC number.

There exist a sample implementation of CC metric for Python programs (written in Perl :). I attached an archive with this script to this ticket.
