pylint-google-style-guide-imports-enforcing 1.3.0

Plugin for PyLint that checks if we import only modules or packages. Direct imports of classes, functions and constants are forbidden

How it works?

It marks importing anything but modules/packages as invalid with a message only-importing-modules-is-allowed. This adheres to Google’s Python style guide.

An example:

from functools import partial  # invalid
import functools  # valid
from some_module.some_subomdule import SomeClass  # invalid
from some_module import some_subomdule  # valid

Why?

To not force people to manual check if something we imported is a module or not.

How to use it?

After installing a package just run pylint, appending pylint_google_style_guide_imports_enforcing to your –load-plugins option.

An example:

pylint my_cool_project --load-plugins=pylint_google_style_guide_imports_enforcing

or append it to your pylintrc file:

[MASTER]
load-plugins=pylint_google_style_guide_imports_enforcing
