    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.
