Python Fix Imports

Python Fix Imports is a Python executable that can automatically reorganize the import statements of your Python script, by splitting single import statement importing several package into as many import statement as imported module ("one import, one line" principle), and sorting these import statements respecting position of group of them.

The main advantage for this method is to strictly restrict the forms of import statement and facilitate multiple code branch merges and rebase, while still allowing to specify a given order if it is the wish of the developer.

Please read the full rational online documenation for more information.

Sublime Text 3 users can use my Python Fix Imports plugin.

Example

Fix imports allows you to automatically turn:

from any_module import d, f
from other_module import z, x
from any_module import (b,
                        e)
from any_module import a, \
                       c

from a_module_that_should_be import at, after, all_others

into:

from any_module import a
from any_module import b
from any_module import c
from any_module import d
from any_module import e
from any_module import f
from other_module import x
from other_module import z

from a_module_that_should_be import after
from a_module_that_should_be import all_others
from a_module_that_should_be import at
