Add a summary after running the command #238

It would be useful with a summary. Two statistics that comes to mind are.

How many places are affected by dead code.
How many lines in total are considered dead code.
Optionally, average confidence of all the dead code.

jendrikseipp commented 3 years ago

I agree that these statistics are interesting, but I wouldn't bake them into Vulture. Instead, you can use vulture *.py | wc -l to count the places with dead code.

jonathan-s commented 3 years ago

Yeah, wc -l works for counting the number of lines. Do you also have a neat of way of collecting the number of lines each place is responsible for?

Ie sum the value where 135 is located. That seems a lot trickier.

apps/februus/handlers/gnip.py:19: unused class 'GnipHandler' (60% confidence, 135 lines)

For that, I recommend using a suitable awk script (I'm not versed in that, but a stackoverflow search will help you there).
