Vulture 0.15
by Jendrik Seipp 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

vulture - Find dead code ======================== Vulture finds unused classes, functions, imports and variables in your code. This helps you cleanup and find errors in your programs. If you run it on both your library and test suite you can find untested code. Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like vulture are likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, vulture can be a helpful tool for higher code quality. Download ======== https://github.com/jendrikseipp/vulture http://pypi.python.org/pypi/vulture Features ======== * fast: static code analysis * lightweight: only one module * tested: tests itself and has complete test coverage * complements pyflakes and has the same output syntax * supports Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.x News ==== This release features 3 changes made by "Google summer of code" student Rahul Jha: * Automatically include whitelists based on imported modules (thanks @RJ722). * Add --version parameter (thanks @RJ722). * Add appveyor tests for testing on Windows (thanks @RJ722). Cheers, Jendrik
