μsort is a safe, minimal import sorter. Its primary goal is to make no "dangerous"

changes to code. This is achieved by detecting distinct "blocks" of imports that are

the most likely to be safely interchangeable, and only reordering imports within these

blocks without altering formatting. Code style is left as an exercise for linters

and formatters.

Within a block, µsort will follow common Python conventions for grouping imports based

on source (standard library, third-party, first-party, or relative), and then sorting

lexicographically within each group. This will commonly look like:

```py

import re

from pathlib import Path

from typing import Iterable

from unittest.mock import call, Mock, patch

import aiohttp

from aiosqlite import connect

import foo

from bar import bar

from .main import main

```

Blocks are inferred from a number of real world conditions, including any intermediate

statements between imports:

```py

import warnings

warnings.filterwarnings(...)

import re

import sys

```

In this case, µsort detects two blocks–separated by the call to `filterwarnings()`,

and will only sort imports inside of each block. Running µsort on this code

will generate no changes, because each block is already sorted.

Imports can be excluded from blocks using the `#usort:skip` directive, or with

`#isort:skip` for compatibility with existing codebases. µsort will leave

these imports unchanged, and treat them as block separators.

See the [User Guide][] for more details about how blocks are detected,

and how sorting is performed.

## Install

µsort requires Python 3.8 or newer to run. Install µsort with:

```shell-session

$ pip install usort

```

## Usage

To format one or more files or directories in-place:

```shell-session

$ usort format  [ ...]

```

To generate a diff of changes without modifying files:

```shell-session

$ usort diff 

```

To just validate that files are formatted correctly, like during CI:

```shell-session

$ usort check 

```

### pre-commit

µsort provides a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) hook. To enforce sorted

imports before every commit, add the following to your `.pre-commit-config.yaml`

file:

```yaml

- repo: https://github.com/facebook/usort

  rev: v1.0.7

  hooks:

    - id: usort

```
