reorder-python-imports
VSCode extension to sort and refactor python imports using reorder-python-imports.
Unlike other import organizers, reorder-python-imports focuses on reducing the frequency of merge conflicts, using static analysis to avoid the need for an active venv, and providing better better compatibility with pre-commit and black.
To learn more, visit the original tool's homepage.
Features
Refactoring the imports is provided as a code action, which can be invoked by right clicking on the code or the lightbulb icon and selecting Reorder Imports, or selecting Python Refactor: Reorder Imports from the command palette.
Settings
Below is an example of a settings.json file with settings relevant to vscode-reorder-python-imports.
{
"reorder-python-imports.args": [
"--application-directories=.:src",
"--add-import 'from __future__ import absolute_import'",
"--add-import 'from __future__ import division'",
"--add-import 'from __future__ import print_function'"
]
}
Reordering on Save
Reordering imports on save is also supported, but requires you to set the following in your settings to prevent Microsoft's python extension from running isort:
"[python]": {
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.organizeImports": false,
"source.organizeImports.reorder-python-imports": true
},
}
Requirements
reorder-python-imports must be installed in the venv used by visual studio.
Known Issues
isort from Microsoft's Python Extension also provides a code action for organizing imports. When vscode is configured to organize imports on save, both isort and reorder-python-imports are run. To work around this, see the reordering on save section.
