How to find unused methods

[Martin Drautzburg]

Is there an elegant way for finding unsent methods as in Smalltalk ?

I am aware of the fact that due to pythons dynamic typing, no tool in
the world can find ALL unsent methods (same in Smalltalk). But finding
the most obvious ones would already be of some help.

If you don't mind *running* your program, profile it. Or wrap all your
methods in call counting ones. I think you will find lots of recipes
how to automagically do the latter, especially in the decorator section
