Breaking changes:
- isort now requires Python 3.6+ to run but continues to support formatting on ALL versions of python including Python 2 code.
- isort deprecates official support for Python 3.4, removing modules only in this release from known_standard_library:
- user
- Config files are no longer composed on-top of each-other. Instead the first config file found is used.
- Since there is no longer composition negative form settings (such as --dont-skip or it's config file variant
not_skip
) are no longer required and have been removed.
- Since there is no longer composition negative form settings (such as --dont-skip or it's config file variant
- Two-letter shortened setting names (like
ac
foratomic
) now require two dashes to avoid ambiguity:--ac
. - For consistency with other tools
-v
now is shorthand for verbose and-V
is shorthand for version. See Issue: #1067. length_sort_{section_name}
config usage has been deprecated. Insteadlength_sort_sections
list can be used to specify a list of sections that need to be length sorted.safety_excludes
andunsafe
have been deprecated- Config now includes as default full set of safety directories defined by safety excludes.
--recursive
option has been removed. Directories passed in are now automatically sorted recursive.--apply
option has been removed as it is the default behaviour.- isort now does nothing, beyond giving instructions and exiting status code 0, when ran with no arguments.
- a new
--interactive
flag has been added to enable the old style behaviour.
- a new
- isort now works on contiguous sections of imports, instead of one whole file at a time.
isort now formats all nested "as" imports in the "from" form.NOTE: This was undone in version 5.1.0 due to feedback it caused issues with some project conventions.import x.y as a
becomesfrom x import y as a
.keep_direct_and_as_imports
option now defaults toTrue
.appdirs
is no longer supported. Unless manually specified, config should be project config only.toml
is now installed as a vendorized module, meaning pyproject.toml based config is always supported.- Completely new Python API, old version is removed and no longer accessible.
- New module placement logic and module fully replaces old finders. Old approach is still available via
--old-finders
.
Internal:
-
isort now utilizes mypy and typing to filter out typing related issues before deployment.
-
isort now utilizes black internally to ensure more consistent formatting.
-
profile support for common project types (black, django, google, etc)
-
Much much more. There is some difficulty in fully capturing the extent of changes in this release - just because of how all encompassing the release is. See: Github Issues for more.

This is the final Python 2.x release of isort, and includes the following major changes:
Potentially Interface Breaking:
- The
-r
option for removing imports has been renamed-rm
to avoid accidental deletions and confusion with the-rc
recursive option. __init__.py
has been removed from the default ignore list. The default ignore list is now empty - with all items needing to be explicitly ignored.- Isort will now by default ignore .tox / venv folders in an effort to be "safe". You can disable this behaviour by setting the "--unsafe" flag, this is separate from any skip or not skip rules you may have in place.
- Isort now allows for files missing closing newlines in whitespace check
distutils
support has been removed to simplify setup.py
New:
- Official Python 3.7 Compatibility.
- Support for using requirements files to auto determine third-paty section if pipreqs & requirementslib are installed.
- Added support for using pyproject.toml if toml is installed.
- Added support for XDG_HOME if appdirs is installed.
- An option has been added to enable ignoring trailing comments ('ignore_comments') defaulting to False.

correctly_sorted
property on the SortsImport to enable more intuitive programmatic checking.
