Large contiguous uncovered blocks in pip internals (>= 10 lines)

These are likely entire unused functions, methods, or code branches.

10	97-106	src/pip/_internal/utils/filesystem.py
10	104-113	src/pip/_internal/wheel_builder.py

Total: 17 blocks, 204 lines of contiguous dead code in internals.

Note: The commands module has 953 uncovered lines (40.5% coverage). This is expected because unit tests do not exercise most CLI command handlers -- those are covered by functional tests (which were not included in this analysis). The unit tests primarily exercise library/utility code.

7. Never-Imported Modules During Typical Usage

Running pip install --dry-run requests imported 337 pip modules. The following were never imported during that operation.

Never-imported vendor modules (54 modules)

Entirely unused vendor packages:

• pip._vendor.msgpack (all 4 modules) -- serialization library, not used at runtime
• pip._vendor.tomli (all 4 modules) -- TOML parser, not needed for install
• pip._vendor.distro (all 3 modules) -- Linux distribution detection, not needed on macOS/for install
• pip._vendor.tomli_w (2 modules) -- TOML writer

Unused vendor submodules (platform-specific / optional features):

• pip._vendor.truststore._windows, pip._vendor.truststore._openssl -- platform-specific TLS backends
• pip._vendor.platformdirs.windows, pip._vendor.platformdirs.android, pip._vendor.platformdirs.unix -- wrong-platform dirs
• pip._vendor.urllib3.contrib.* (securetransport, pyopenssl, appengine, ntlmpool, socks, backports) -- optional urllib3 extras
• pip._vendor.idna.codec, pip._vendor.idna.compat, pip._vendor.idna.uts46data -- IDNA codec/compat, rarely needed
• pip._vendor.cachecontrol._cmd, pip._vendor.cachecontrol.heuristics -- CLI/heuristic features unused by pip
• pip._vendor.packaging.metadata, pip._vendor.packaging.licenses -- packaging metadata/license handling
• pip._vendor.dependency_groups.* (all 5 modules) -- dependency group resolution
• pip._vendor.requests.help -- requests debug info
• pip._vendor.rich partial: _export_format, _spinners, ansi, file_proxy, filesize, live, live_render, pager, progress, progress_bar, screen, spinner
• pip._vendor.certifi.__main__ -- certifi CLI
• pip._vendor.pygments (most submodules) -- syntax highlighting, not used in install path

Never-imported internal modules (26 modules)

Most are command modules not used during install:

• pip._internal.commands.cache
• pip._internal.commands.check
• pip._internal.commands.completion
• pip._internal.commands.configuration
• pip._internal.commands.debug
• pip._internal.commands.download
• pip._internal.commands.freeze
• pip._internal.commands.hash
• pip._internal.commands.help
• pip._internal.commands.index
• pip._internal.commands.inspect
• pip._internal.commands.list
• pip._internal.commands.lock
• pip._internal.commands.search
• pip._internal.commands.show
• pip._internal.commands.uninstall
• pip._internal.commands.wheel

Other never-imported internals:

• pip._internal.locations._distutils -- legacy distutils location support
• pip._internal.main -- thin wrapper, bypassed in tests
• pip._internal.metadata.pkg_resources -- legacy metadata backend
• pip._internal.network.xmlrpc -- XML-RPC client (for pip search)
• pip._internal.operations.freeze -- freeze operation
• pip._internal.resolution.legacy (2 modules) -- legacy resolver
• pip._internal.utils._jaraco_text -- text utility

---

8. Recommendations

High-impact: Entirely unused vendor packages

These packages have 0% coverage and were never imported during install. They are candidates for removal or lazy-loading.

Package	Lines	Recommendation
msgpack	698	Already replaced by JSON caching (per commit 070099c01). Can likely be fully removed from vendor.
tomli	529	Python 3.11+ has tomllib in stdlib. If pip's minimum is 3.11+, this is dead weight. Otherwise needed for <3.11.
distro	352	Only used on Linux for distro detection. Already lazy-imported. Could be skipped entirely on macOS/Windows.

Potential savings: ~1,579 lines of vendor code.

Medium-impact: Heavily unused vendor code

Package	Missing Lines	Notes
rich	3,640	Pip uses a small fraction of rich. Consider vendoring only the needed subset.
urllib3 contrib/	~1,289	securetransport, pyopenssl, appengine, ntlmpool, socks, backports -- all 0% coverage. Platform-specific or optional.
pygments	1,457	18.2% coverage. Pip only uses basic lexing. Most formatters, lexers, and utilities are unused.
distlib	1,238	util.py alone has 1,022 uncovered lines. Much of distlib is unused.
pkg_resources	888	Legacy metadata backend. 43.1% coverage. Being phased out.

Low-impact: Internal pip dead code

The internal pip code is reasonably well-covered at 68.8%. The uncovered code is mostly:

1. Command handlers (953 lines) -- Expected. These are tested by functional tests, not unit tests. Not actually dead.
2. Legacy resolver (resolution/legacy/) -- Never imported during install. Could be lazy-loaded or gated.
3. Platform-specific paths (distutils locations, Windows/Linux branches) -- Not dead, just not exercised on macOS.
4. VCS backends (subversion, mercurial) -- Only used when installing from VCS URLs.

Lazy-loading opportunities

These modules are never imported during a standard pip install but are needed for other commands:

• All command modules except install -- already lazy-loaded via command discovery
• pip._internal.resolution.legacy -- could gate behind a flag check
• pip._internal.metadata.pkg_resources -- could lazy-import
• pip._internal.network.xmlrpc -- only used by deprecated pip search
• pip._vendor.pygments -- only needed for --verbose or rich output formatting

Summary of removable/reducible code

Category	Estimated Removable Lines
Entirely unused vendor packages (msgpack, tomli, distro)	~1,579
Unused vendor submodules (urllib3 contrib, pygments extras, etc.)	~2,500
Never-imported vendor utility modules (main, CLI tools, etc.)	~400
Total potential reduction	~4,500 lines

This represents roughly 10.6% of all pip source code that could potentially be removed or lazy-loaded.
