This is detected as unused: test = ""

This not -.- self.test = ""

Is it possible that test really never used?) Please provide the whole file.

Hey Anton,

here’s the shortest example i could find: testfile.py:

# -*- Mode: Python; coding: utf-8 -*-
class TestClass():
    def init(self):
        test = ""
        self.test = ""

The variable is unused. Because there is no other function in the initialization function or the calculation uses that variable, especially that variable is not used by self.

I didn't test but this may be a pyflakes bug.

@lenlen I don't understand what you mean, can you describe it in more detail?
