finding completely dead files #338

Hi there, great project!

We've had a problem recently in our codebase with some completely dead files that were not imported anywhere, and were not being run by any tests, but coverage.py still said we have 100% coverage.

Can vulture detect completely dead python files that are not used at all?

Many thanks in advance Best, Sam

Yes, Vulture will report any names that are defined in the dead file but not used in the dead file.
