NAME

       sfood-checker - check for superfluous import statements in Python source code

SYNOPSIS

       sfood-checker [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  is  used to detect forgotten imports that are not used anymore. When writing Python code (which happens so fast), it is often
       the case that we forget to remove useless imports.

       This is implemented using a search in the AST, and as such we do not require to import the module in order to run the  checks.  This  is  a
       major advantage over all the other lint/checker programs, and the main reason for taking the time to write it.

       As inputs, it can receive either files or directories; in case no argument is passed, it parses the current directory recursively.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show the help message and exit

       --debug
	      Debugging output.

       -I IGNORES, --ignore=IGNORES
	      Add the given directory name to the list to be ignored.

       -d, --disable-pragmas
	      Disable processing of pragma directives as strings after imports.

       -D, --duplicates, --enable-duplicates
	      Enable experimental heuristic for finding duplicate imports.

       -M, --missing, --enable-missing
	      Enable experimental heuristic for finding missing imports.
