emacs-python-isort
Reformat python-mode buffer with isort.
Usage
(require 'python-isort)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'python-isort-on-save-mode)Motivation
There are 2 other packages that integrate isort with Emacs -
py-isort and
isortify. Both of which have not
been maintained for years and violate Emacs convention.
py-isort assumes there will always be an executable called isort that will
be available on exec-path, i.e. the path to the executable is not
configurable, which makes using isort in an isolated virtualenv
(e.g. pre-commit and pipx install Python scripts into isolated virtualenvs) for
your project difficult.
isortify has a similar problem in which it assumes the isort module can
always be found from the Python executable's sys.path.
python-isort follows the Emacs convention which allows the user to specify the
full path to the desired isort executable. This means it plays very well with
other packages in the Emacs ecosystem that follow the convention.
