jlachowski / clonedigger Goto Github PK

Just to let you know there's another clone by @okin at https://github.com/okin/Clonedigger-Exhumed which has had some commits and fixes since cloning.

Please tell us the state of this project in the README.

Which tool do you recommend (yours or an other)?

There is an other clone that was modified by @Zomega at https://github.com/Zomega/orphanblack, and there were many commits done.

I know this is just a clone of the sourceforge repo... but just for the record: clonedigger codebase has much code duplication itself.
If someone ever contributes to the project, please refactor.

There is the --func-prefixes option but it's not flexible enough. I'd rather want clonedigger to be also able to do what other code analysis tools (pylint, coverage) can - skip explicitly marked parts of code.

For example something like:

def foo():  # clonedigger: skip

would skip the function foo()

Or

class Bar:  # clonedigger: skip

would skip the whole class Bar

I suggest you document your improvements over the original project (that seems to be abandoned).

This is very useful software and it is really nice of you to be working on that. But I really think you could tell us about what you're doing. For instance, I found a release on PyPi that seems to be yours: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clonedigger-jl. Should I use that instead of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clonedigger?
