NAME
vulture - searches for unused ("dead") code in a Python program
SYNOPSIS
vulture [options] <path>
DESCRIPTION
Vulture scans for unused classes, functions and variables.
Due to Python's dynamic nature it's impossible to find all ununsed code
for a static code analyzer, because it ignores scopes and scans only
token names. Additionally, some dynamic items that are not explicitly
called in the code may be incorrectly reported.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
--exclude=<exclude>
comma-separated list of filename patterns to exclude (e.g. svn,external)
-v, --verbose
