eradicate 0.0.5

Removes commented-out code.

eradicate removes commented-out code from Python files.

Introduction

With modern revision control available there is no reason to save junk comments to your repository. eradicate helps cleans up existing junk. It does this by first tokenizing the code to find the comments. It then removes the block comments that both contain valid Python syntax and have symbols unlikely to be real comment.

Example

$ eradicate --in-place example.py

Before:

#import os
#from foo import junk
#a = 3
a = 4
#foo(1, 2, 3)

def foo(x, y, z):
    #print('hello')
    print(x, y, z)

After:

a = 4

def foo(x, y, z):
    print(x, y, z)
