Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe plugin does not have any configuration options. It always enforces absolute imports with no way to exclude certain files or allow specific relative imports.

fix

If you need to allow relative imports in some cases, consider using a different plugin or disabling flake8-absolute-import for specific files via per-file-ignores in .flake8 config.

affects: all

gotchaPython version requirement: Python >=3.10 only. Will not install on older Python versions.

fix

Ensure you are using Python 3.10 or newer.
