Re: Detect Unused Modules

Kamilche enlightened us with:

DetectUnusedMod ules.py - Detect modules that were imported but not
used in a file. When run directly, this class will check all files
in the current directory.

Nice as it is, but why not use pylint to check this and many other
coding style issues?

I made this the first time I mangled some code because pychecker said
some modules were not used when they really were. The module wasn't
that complex, only 302 lines, but it got it wrong.
