By any chance, could you provide a prepackaged Windows executable for easy download?
Would make this tool way more accessible while also saving users the need to install Python2.

Thanks for taking over this package! Would you consider submitting this to PyPI so it is easier to install?

I'm trying to run this script on a Debian machine with Python 2.7.13 and always end up with the following:

Building the project.... Done!
Initial build fails! Finishing now...

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

I suggest to remove the wordy output and use something like this:

[package] : used (build fails)
[package] : not used
[package] : used (checksum mismatch: [hash])

I am experiencing some weird behavior please consider the files below:

test.tex:

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{lipsum}% useless package here
\usepackage{amsmath} % needed

\input{/tmp/input.tex}

\begin{document}
	\begin{align}
		a = b + c
		\label{eq}
	\end{align}
	\cref{eq}
	\eqref{eq}
\end{document}

input.tex

 % BLA BLA BLA
\usepackage{tikz} % should be useless here as well
 \usepackage{cleveref}% needed

When running LaTeXpkges.py --latex lualatex /tmp/test.tex --input /tmp/input.tex it says:

Building the project.. Done!
Calculating the original checksum for test.pdf...
MD5 for the original output file is e774282e0696e6775781967f764a5aff
4 were found.
Testing if lipsum can be removed... Yep.
Testing if amsmath can be removed... Nope. Build fails.
Testing if tikz can be removed... Nope. Build fails.
Testing if cleveref can be removed... Nope. Build fails.

It looks like it's safe to remove these packages:
lipsum

To me that's weird because manually removing tikz does not result in an build error.

Edit:
Unforunately, that seems to be related to my changes. If I have all the stuff in one document, like

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{lipsum}% useless package here
\usepackage{amsmath} % needed

 % BLA BLA BLA
\usepackage{tikz} % should be useless here as well
\usepackage{cleveref}% needed


\begin{document}
	\begin{align}
		a = b + c
		\label{eq}
	\end{align}
	\cref{eq}
	\eqref{eq}
\end{document}

it says for LaTeXpkges.py --latex lualatex /tmp/test.tex

Building the project.. Done!
Calculating the original checksum for test.pdf...
MD5 for the original output file is e774282e0696e6775781967f764a5aff
4 were found.
Testing if lipsum can be removed... Yep.
Testing if amsmath can be removed... Nope. Build fails.
Testing if tikz can be removed... Nope. Checksum mismatch: b6a4bf87ca6cbb42bc7a89dddb71bfdc
Testing if cleveref can be removed... Nope. Build fails.

It looks like it's safe to remove these packages:
lipsum

Which is still weird, but at least it doesn't report a crash.

Hello, I am considering to modify the script to do the same thing with macros (delete from the file macros that have not been used). I believe the same approach should work, as long as you change the regular expression to identify macros instead of packages and then you should always end up in the "Build failed" case. Do you know if there is already something like that available around?

If installing on Unix, there is no need for py2exe so this shouldn't be a hard requirement.

Would it be possible to have an option to run multiple tests in parallel?

I have the problem that the package detects (and thus only evaluates) packages that have been included in the main document. But I have a couple of packages I load in a separate file to keep the main document cleaner. They seem to be disregarded.

Edit: Maybe an easier workaround is to let the user specify the additional files that should be parsed for \usepackage commands?

When one uses multicol package and a multicols environment, this program still says the document does not need the multicol package.
