I have created a new deadcode Python package for detecting globally unused Python code (pypi.org)

Sometimes unused class or function manages to slip into code base. Static code checkers like ruff, flake8 does not have rules for detecting such globally unused code.

I tried using vulture, but it has too many false positives to have it as part of CI/CD pipeline.

I have tried to implement my own, more reliable check for global deadcode detection.

Please let me know what you think about it.

Yes, you are right 👍 Thanks for pointing this out. And yes, my package is only a subset of vulture functionality.
