Don't remove re-exported imports
thejcannon opened this issue · comments
mypy has the concept of "re-export"ing a module by importing it and giving it the same name in the as dotted name:
https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config_file.html#confval-implicit_reexport
from whatever import thing as thingthing may not be used, but it needs to stay, since it is being exported. (This is primarily to allow for moving a definition but maintaining backwards compatibility).
It'd be great if autoflake doesn't remove these.
I imagine we'd need to get this into pyflakes so pyflakes doesn't report the issue for us.
There's some history on why this isn't supported by pyflakes though: PyCQA/pyflakes#474
Oh yeah whoops. I should've known better 🤦
