Yes, you are right 👍 Thanks for pointing this out. And yes, my package is only a subset of vulture functionality.

Thank you for your feedback! Its exactly what I was looking for 👍

I have already added --count, --quiet options and regexp pattern support for --ignore-names option. Let me know if anything else pops into your mind 😃

Sometimes unused class or function manages to slip into code base. Static code checkers like ruff, flake8 does not have rules for detecting such globally unused code.

I tried using vulture, but it has too many false positives to have it as part of CI/CD pipeline.

I have tried to implement my own, more reliable check for global deadcode detection.

Please let me know what you think about it.
