pimporter 0.1.5

Checks for conflicting, unused or duplicate import aliases

pimporter 🐍📦

Clean up your code's cargo.

pimporter is a lightweight static analysis tool for inspecting Python import statements.
It helps you detect:

• Aliases (as) used for multiple modules (conflicts)
• Duplicate or hidden import aliases
• Unused imports
• Local vs external imports
• Clean summary per file

---

🔧 Installation

Install via pip (after packaging it as a wheel or locally):

pip install pimporter

Or from a local directory:

pip install .

---

🚀 Usage

pimporter path/to/your/script_or_directory.py

• You can pass either a single Python file or a directory (recursively scans .py files).
• The tool will display detailed line-by-line output with color-coded status.

🖨️ Example Output

  [!!!] Conflict: Alias 'foo' is used for multiple modules:
    Line 14   -> wurst as foo
    Line 24   -> module_a.foo as foo
    Line 25   -> module_b.foo as foo

    Line   25 - [!!]   unused                   foo from module_b.foo

📦 Dependencies

• colorama – for colorful terminal output

💡 Motivation

While linters like pylint, flake8, or ruff cover general import cleanliness, pimporter focuses specifically on the integrity and clarity of alias usage – particularly useful for larger codebases or shared projects where import patterns can become inconsistent or ambiguous.
