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 helpful tool 
for higher code quality.


Download
========
https://github.com/jendrikseipp/vulture
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/vulture


Features
========
* fast: uses static code analysis
* tested: tests itself and has complete test coverage
* complements pyflakes and has the same output syntax
* sorts unused classes and functions by size with `--sort-by-size`


News
====
* Handle `while True` loops without `break` statements (kreathon).
* Add whitelist for `ssl.SSLContext` (tunnelsociety, #392).
* Add more ruff rules (even-even).
* Drop support for Python 3.8 (Jendrik Seipp, #398).
* Add support for Python 3.14 (even-even).

Cheers,
Jendrik
