Vulture 0.12

vulture - Find dead code
========================

Vulture finds unused classes, functions 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.
