Detected clones can be refactored or just kept in mind.Clone Digger uses complex algorithm of finding duplicate code, consisting of several phases. Here are some key features of "Clone Digger": · Clone Digger is the only one tool that works with Python sources (excluding tools working on the pure text level and the very simple implementaion in pylint). · Variety of handled clone types. Strictly speaking, a pair of sequences of statements is considered a clone if one sequence can be obtained from the other by replacing some small subexpressions.
