GNU complexity can find complex C functions (that probably should be refactored).

brew install gnu-complexity

complexity src_c/*.c

frama-c is another tool that can be used to find function complexity. https://frama-c.com/metrics.html

A pygame.image.tostring cleanup PR was started here: pygame/pygame#1637

I'd like to start making a list of issues for each of the functions that are too complex. Before writing lots of issues, I'd like to explore doing one issue all the way through. I've started writing an issue about display.set_mode complexity # 2316

These issues could be used for teaching, probably at an intermediate/advanced level.

We could learn from the image.tostring PR # 1637
