Codegen struggling to recognize module atrtribute access as a usage #242
Description
When using codegen to remove dead code, it incorrectly identifies functions accessed via module attribute notation as unused.
Example:
file: example.py
from a.b import module
module.some_func() # this usage is not detected
In the dead code script:
some_func.usages # Returns []
some_func.call_sites # Returns []
some_func.symbol_usages # Returns []
As a result, some_func is incorrectly identified as dead code and removed, despite being actively used through module attribute access.
Expected Behavior:
some_funcshould show usage when accessed viamodule.some_func()

Thanks for the report, @gautum . This is a bug - it should be supported. Can you point us towards a specific repository that exhibits this issue? Or can you provide a minimal code example where the issue appears?

#251 - we added a basic test case, but it's passing. +1 on the minimal reproduction
