Consider dein.vim plugin manager for repo scraping

[jreybert]

dein.vim is more and more used, and should be counted when scraping repositories.

I just made a PR for this #372

[roryokane]

The files to be edited to implement this feature are in tools/scrape/. The important part of the change would go in github.py. Edit: as @jreybert noted, test/tools/scrape/ is also relevant.

@unclechu PR #372 is unrelated. It adds instructions in the interface for installing a plugin with Dein, but this issue is about the scraper noticing plugins installed with Dein in people’s vimrcs.

Thank you @roryokane for your input. I did not started a PR because I feared the effort to add tests for this new scrapper...

I keep this in my Todo list.

I just want to point out that a global github search for

"call dein#add('Shougo/deoplete.nvim')"

https://github.com/search?q=%22call+dein%23add%28%27Shougo%2Fdeoplete.nvim%27%29%22&type=Code

reveals 1,671 code results.

Plugin 'shougo/deoplete.nvim'
https://github.com/search?q=%22Plugin+%27shougo%2Fdeoplete.nvim%27%22&type=Code
973 code results.

"Plug 'shougo/deoplete.nvim'"
https://github.com/search?q=%22Plug+%27shougo%2Fdeoplete.nvim%27%22&type=Code
9,100 code results.

I already assumed that the difference between github stars of deoplete (4000) and the number on vimawesome.com of 750 is too far away.

Is there any chance that the scraper will be updated?

And are "init.vim" considered as well?

@kiryph seems statistics has changed significantly since:

• call dein#add('Shougo/deoplete.nvim') returns 966 code results
• Plugin 'shougo/deoplete.nvim' returns 480 code results
• Plug 'shougo/deoplete.nvim' returns 5,479 code results
