A minimalist static analysis tool to detect dead code and unused definitions in Python source files.

• GitHub: https://github.com/Madhav703/novoid

Installation

pip install novoid

Usage

Analyze a single file:

novoid main.py

Analyze an entire directory:

novoid ./src

What It Detects

• Unused functions - functions that are defined but never called anywhere in the file.
• Unused variables - variables that are assigned but never read or referenced.

Example Output

novoid report for: main.py
──────────────────────────────────────
  [LINE  4]  FUNCTION   greet_user
  [LINE  9]  VARIABLE   temp_buffer
──────────────────────────────────────
2 issue(s) found.

When no issues are found:

✔  main.py - no dead code detected.
