Relaion to flake8-import-order
------------------------------

As an alternative to this flake8 plugin, there's `flake8-import-order`_ that could be worth checking out. In contrast to this plugin that defers all logic to isort, the flake8-import-order comes bundled with it's own logic.

flake8-import-order comes with a few predefined set of styles meanwhile this plugin can be customized a bit more. But the biggest difference could lie in that flake8-isort actually has the corresponding sorting engine isort that can sort the import orders of your existing python files. Meanwhile flake8-import-order has no such corresponding tool, hence big existing projects who want to adopt either would get a more automized experience choosing flake8-isort.
