It integrates directly into flake8's linting workflow and reports violations with configurable messages. The plugin is configured via flake8's standard config files and allows you to define which imports should be banned, whether relative imports are allowed, and what messages to show when violations occur.\n\nThe plugin supports wildcard patterns in banned-modules, a special {python2to3} directive to ban Python 2 modules with suggested replacements, and fine-grained control over relative imports. It has been actively maintained since 2016 and is classified as Production/Stable with support for Python 3.9 to 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and installs with minimal friction (one dependency). It solves a real problem\u2014enforcing import discipline\u2014and integrates seamlessly into existing flake8 workflows. Recommended for any project using flake8 that wants to enforce import policies."},"id":"flake8-tidy-imports","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-tidy-imports","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-tidy-imports.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flake8-tidy-imports/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-08","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flake8-tidy-imports","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A flake8 plugin that helps you write tidier imports."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":461480,"position":6533,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.12.0"}
