pylint module boundaries

a pylint plugin to enforce boundaries between modules in your project. similar to nx's enforce-module-boundaries eslint plugin

example

say you have three packages in your project - common, package1, and package2 - you can use the banned-imports rule to prevent common from importing anything from package1 or package2, thus avoiding issues such as circular dependencies.

Pylint can then be used to detect any violations of this rule:

see usage below for a config example

installing

poetry install pylint-module-boundaries

usage

pyproject.toml example

[tool.pylint.MASTER]
load-plugins = "pylint_module_boundaries"
banned-imports = '''
{
    "common(\\..*)?": ["package1(\\..*)?", "package2(\\..*)?"],
    "scripts(\\..*)?": ["package1(\\..*)?", "package2(\\..*)?"]
}
'''
banned-imports-check-usages = true
