[N]ew deadcode Python package for detecting globally unused Python code (pypi.org)

To be clear, this isn't my project. Just cross-posting the author's post from !python@programming.dev .

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.
