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.
