Enforcer / pylint_google_style_guide_imports_enforcing

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
