isort is a Python utility and library that automatically sorts imports alphabetically and organizes them into sections. It enhances code readability and maintainability by ensuring a consistent import order across your codebase. isort can be used as a command-line tool, integrated into your development workflow, or configured to run automatically before commits.


Usage Example

To sort imports in a specific Python file, run:

isort your_script.py

To apply isort recursively to all Python files in a directory:

isort .

To view the changes isort would make without applying them:

isort your_script.py --diff

For integration with code editors, isort offers plugins and can be configured to run on save or as part of your continuous integration pipeline.
