There isn't a built-in feature to do this, but there's a way: edit your 
.coveragerc file (or create one), and define a new pragma pattern (with 
[report] exclude_lines), so that your existing "no cover" pragmas aren't 
recognized.  Then run coverage again.  You can see how coverage is 
reported for your "no cover" lines, and decide what to do about each 
one.  Then put back your original .coveragerc file.
