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.
