`flake8` plugin to find commented out (or so called "dead") code.

This is quite important for the project in a long run.

Based on [`eradicate`](https://github.com/myint/eradicate) project.

## Installation

```bash

pip install flake8-eradicate

```

It is also a valuable part of [`wemake-python-styleguide`](https://github.com/wemake-services/wemake-python-styleguide).

## Usage

Run your `flake8` checker [as usual](http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/invocation.html).

Commented code should raise an error.

Example:

```bash

flake8 your_module.py

```

## Options

- `--eradicate-aggressive` to enable aggressive mode from `eradicate`, can lead to false positives

- `--eradicate-whitelist` to overwrite the whitelist from `eradicate` (`#` separated list)

- `--eradicate-whitelist-extend` to extend the whitelist from `eradicate` (`#` separated list)

## Error codes

| Error code |        Description       |

|:----------:|:------------------------:|

|    E800    | Found commented out code |

## Output example

Here's how output looks like (we are using [`wemake` formatter](https://wemake-python-styleguide.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/usage/formatter.html)):
