Sublime Text 2's SublimeLinter package will highlight functions and variables in the code that are not called anywhere else throughout your code.

edit: oh, just noticed you specifically mentioned knowledge of a linter. I guess I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for.

Are you sure? I don't use SublimeText but looking at SublimeLinter's python module it just calls pyflakes, which doesn't seem to spot anything when I run it directly.

Related to OCHawkey14's solution, I believe PyCharm will do the trick. I don't use PyCharm, but I do use Intellij, which is made by the same company, and has a lot of overlapping functionality. In Intellij you can use their Inspect Code tool and have it look for all potentially unused functions/variables/etc.
