Create flow chart from python script

Question

Does anyone know if there is a way to generate flow chart (or flow diagram) of python scripts?  I would like to use something that is supported by the modules available in ArcGIS Pro's Package manager so I don't break anything.  In a perfect world, I'd be able to take existing scripts and either include them in a list to create a diagram from, or a directory of scripts, etc.  I have a bunch of scripts I have created and being able to graphically see the logic/flow of potential options would be incredibly helpful to see what will happen where/when.  I've been searching and reading for several days on this and trying to find a viable solution.

You can probably use networkx which is in the standard acpy environment to build a graph, then visualize it using pyplot. You can also use the standard ast library to introspect your script and see all the relationships.

I've also just used requests to post runs with info to a database that I then inspect using external dataviz. That's useful if you want to log runs for a tool that's being used in production.

Hayden - what I'd like to do is generate a flow chart of one or more of my python scripts so I can visually see how the code flows and what functions are to be run in what order.  I'd like to be able to regenerate the flow chart whenever I want, such as after doing major edits on a given script.  I created a basic idea of it below...
