NAME

sfood-checker - check for superfluous import statements in Python source code

SYNOPSIS

sfood-checker [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

This script is used to detect forgotten imports that are not used anymore. When writing Python code (which happens so fast), it is often the case that we forget to remove useless imports.

This is implemented using a search in the AST, and as such we do not require to import the module in order to run the checks. This is a major advantage over all the other lint/checker programs, and the main reason for taking the time to write it.

As inputs, it can receive either files or directories; in case no argument is passed, it parses the current directory recursively.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

show the help message and exit

--debug

Debugging output.

-I IGNORES, --ignore=IGNORES

Add the given directory name to the list to be ignored.

-d, --disable-pragmas

Disable processing of pragma directives as strings after imports.

-D, --duplicates, --enable-duplicates

Enable experimental heuristic for finding duplicate imports.

-M, --missing, --enable-missing

Enable experimental heuristic for finding missing imports.
