Detect unused local variables?

[ChillarAnand]

def foo():
    x = 2
    x = 3
    print(x)

print(foo())

In the above code, x = 2 is local unused variable but vulture doesn't detect it currently. May be vulture can detect and report these?

That would be possible, yes, but it would require a substantial amount of changes to the core of Vulture. So currently there are no plans to do that. But I think flake8 should detect cases like this.
