Symilar
-------
The console script ``symilar`` finds copy pasted blocks in a set of files. It provides a command line interface to the ``Similar`` class, which includes the logic for

It can be invoked with::
symilar [-d|--duplicates min_duplicated_lines] [-i|--ignore-comments] [--ignore-docstrings] [--ignore-imports] [--ignore-signatures] file1...
All files that shall be checked have to be passed in explicitly, e.g.::
symilar foo.py, bar.py, subpackage/spam.py, subpackage/eggs.py
``symilar`` produces output like the following::
