flake8-isort 6.0.0

flake8 plugin that integrates isort .

Flake8 meet isort

Use isort to check if the imports on your python files are sorted the way you expect.

Add an .isort.cfg to define how you want your imports sorted and run flake8 as you usually do.

See isort documentation for .isort.cfg available options.

Install

Install with pip:

$ pip install flake8-isort

Install with conda:

$ conda install -c conda-forge flake8-isort

Configuration

If using the select option from flake8 be sure to enable the I category as well, see below for the specific error codes reported by flake8-isort.

See flake8 --help for available flake8-isort options.

Error codes

Error code	Description
I001	isort found an import in the wrong position
I002	no configuration found (.isort.cfg or [isort] in configs)
I003	isort expected 1 blank line in imports, found 0
I004	isort found an unexpected blank line in imports
I005	isort found an unexpected missing import

Requirements

• Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and pypy3

• flake8

• isort

Relation to flake8-import-order

As an alternative to this flake8 plugin, there’s flake8-import-order that could be worth checking out. In contrast to this plugin that defers all logic to isort, the flake8-import-order comes bundled with it’s own logic.

flake8-import-order comes with a few predefined set of styles meanwhile this plugin can be customized a bit more. But the biggest difference could lie in that flake8-isort actually has the corresponding sorting engine isort that can sort the import orders of your existing python files. Meanwhile flake8-import-order has no such corresponding tool, hence big existing projects who want to adopt either would get a more automized experience choosing flake8-isort.

Changelog

6.0.0 (2022-12-22)

• Drop isort 4.x support. [gforcada]

• Add support for flake8 6.0.0. [gforcada]

• Add –isort-no-skip-gitignore option to allow temporarily overriding the set value of isort’s skip_gitignore option with False. This can cause flake8-isort to run significantly faster at the cost of making flake8-isort’s behavior differ slightly from the behavior of isort –check. [gschaffner]
