Vulture 2.7
by Jendrik Seipp Jan. 9, 2023

Jan. 9, 2023

Vulture - Find dead code ======================== Vulture finds unused code in Python programs. This is useful for cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases. If you run Vulture 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 very helpful tool for higher code quality. … [View More]

tencdec: A number array to/from bytes high performance encoder/decoder
by Facundo Batista Jan. 3, 2023

Jan. 3, 2023

# What is tencdec A number array to/from bytes high performance encoder/decoder. It gets a list of monotonic increasing integers and can encode it to a byte object very fast in a compressed form using deltas. Then you may store that byte object in a DB or whatever, and when you need the list of integers back, you just decode it. https://github.com/facundobatista/tencdec Example: ``` >>> numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 28, 87, 87, 500, 501, 507, 2313] >>> enc = tencdec.… [View More]
