fix(agent): remove unused get_variable_names function by keli-wen · Pull Request #1784 · huggingface/smolagents (original) (raw)

Description

This PR removes the unused get_variable_names function from src/smolagents/agents.py that was introduced in commit 8ba036b.

Motivation

The get_variable_names function is dead code that:

• Has no callers anywhere in the codebase
• Has no test coverage
• Is not referenced in documentation
• Contributes to unnecessary code bloat

Removing unused code improves:

• Code maintainability
• Codebase clarity
• Reduces potential confusion for developers

Changes Made

• Removed the get_variable_names function (lines 101-103) and import re from src/smolagents/agents.py

Note: This function was originally introduced in commit 8ba036b but never actually used in the codebase.
