isort

The Python import sorter tool (https://timothycrosley.github.io/isort/).

Backend: ``

Config section: [isort]

Basic options​

args​

--isort-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"
PANTS_ISORT_ARGS
pants.toml
[isort]
args = [
    <shell_str>,
    <shell_str>,
    ...,
]
default: []

Arguments to pass directly to isort, e.g. --isort-args="--case-sensitive --trailing-comma".

skip​

--[no-]isort-skip
PANTS_ISORT_SKIP
pants.toml
[isort]
skip = <bool>
default: False

Don't use isort when running /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants fmt and /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants lint.

Advanced options​

config​

--isort-config="[<file_option>, <file_option>, ...]"
PANTS_ISORT_CONFIG
pants.toml
[isort]
config = [
    <file_option>,
    <file_option>,
    ...,
]
default: []

Path to config file understood by isort (https://pycqa.github.io/isort/docs/configuration/config_files/).

Setting this option will disable [isort].config_discovery. Use this option if the config is located in a non-standard location.

If using isort 5+ and you specify only 1 config file, Pants will configure isort's argv to point to your config file.

config_discovery​

--[no-]isort-config-discovery
PANTS_ISORT_CONFIG_DISCOVERY
pants.toml
[isort]
config_discovery = <bool>
default: True

If true, Pants will include any relevant config files during runs (.isort.cfg, pyproject.toml, setup.cfg, tox.ini and .editorconfig).

Use [isort].config instead if your config is in a non-standard location.

console_script​

--isort-console-script=<str>
PANTS_ISORT_CONSOLE_SCRIPT
pants.toml
[isort]
console_script = <str>
default: isort

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

entry_point​

--isort-entry-point=<str>
PANTS_ISORT_ENTRY_POINT
pants.toml
[isort]
entry_point = <str>
default: None

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

extra_requirements​

--isort-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_ISORT_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS
pants.toml
[isort]
extra_requirements = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "setuptools"
]

Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.

interpreter_constraints​

--isort-interpreter-constraints="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_ISORT_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS
pants.toml
[isort]
interpreter_constraints = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "CPython>=3.6"
]

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.

version​

--isort-version=<str>
PANTS_ISORT_VERSION
pants.toml
[isort]
version = <str>
default: isort[pyproject]>=5.5.1,<5.6

Requirement string for the tool.

Deprecated options​
