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.
  • Added support to enable line length sorting for only specific sections
  • Added a correctly_sorted property on the SortsImport to enable more intuitive programmatic checking.

Fixes:

  • Improved black compatibility.
  • Isort will no detect files in the CWD as first-party.
  • Fixed several cases where '-ns' or 'not_skip' was being incorrectly ignored.
  • Fixed sorting of relative path imports ('.', '..', '...', etc).
  • Fixed bugs caused by a failure to maintain order when loading iterables from config files.
  • Correctly handle CPython compiled imports and others that need EXT_SUFFIX to correctly identify.
  • Fixed handling of Symbolic Links to follow them when walking the path.
  • Fixed handling of relative known_paths.
  • Fixed lack of access to all wrap modes from the CLI.
  • Fixed handling of FIFO files.
  • Fixed a bug that could result in multiple imports being inserted on the same line.
