```

Research direction

Start by reproducing `pipreqs .` and trace the reported path through `pipreqs.py`, especially `get_all_imports` and its `ast.parse(contents)` call. Inspect the input project's source around the reported line 44; done means determining whether the failure originates in pipreqs or the scanned project's inconsistent indentation and documenting or testing the appropriate behavior.
