isort is a Python utility and library designed to sort imports alphabetically, automatically separating them into sections by type. It provides a command-line utility, a Python library, and plugins for various editors to streamline import organization. Currently at version 8.0.1, isort maintains an active development pace with frequent major and minor releases, ensuring ongoing feature enhancements and bug fixes.

Demonstrates programmatic use of `isort` to sort a string of Python code and check if it's correctly sorted. The `isort.code()` function takes a string of code and returns the sorted version, while `isort.check_code()` verifies compliance.
Ensure your project's Python interpreter meets the minimum requirement for your `isort` version or pin `isort` to an older version compatible with your environment.
Review your `isort` configuration and any custom scripts for usage of `setuptools` plugin or legacy finder flags. Update integrations to use `isort`'s official programmatic API or standard configuration methods. Refactor any code depending on `pkg_resources` for dependency discovery.
Always configure `isort` with the `black` profile when using it alongside `Black`. This can be done via `isort --profile black` on the command line, or by adding `profile = "black"` under `[tool.isort]` in your `pyproject.toml` or `[isort]` in `.isort.cfg`.
Consolidate your configuration into a single, preferred file format like `pyproject.toml` (using `[tool.isort]`) or `.isort.cfg` (using `[settings]` or `[isort]`). Use `isort --verbose` to confirm which configuration file is being used for a given path.
Be mindful when using `--atomic` in CI/CD environments, especially in projects with diverse Python version targets. It's often safer to rely on your test suite or linter to catch syntax errors after `isort` runs without `--atomic`.
Upgrade to `isort` 8.0.0 or newer if your project relies heavily on `__future__` imports and you encounter unexpected formatting behavior. Otherwise, carefully review `isort`'s output on such files.
Run `isort .` (or `isort <path/to/file.py>`) from your terminal to automatically sort and fix the imports. If using pre-commit, ensure `isort` is configured correctly.
Configure isort to use the 'black' profile. Add `profile = black` under the `[tool.isort]` section in your `pyproject.toml` or in a `.isort.cfg` file. Alternatively, run `isort . --profile black`.
Install isort using pip: `pip install isort`. Ensure you install it in the correct Python environment (e.g., your project's virtual environment).
Define the missing section in your isort configuration (e.g., in `pyproject.toml` or `.isort.cfg`) by adding it to the `sections` setting, and/or explicitly tell isort which modules belong to which section using `known_first_party`, `known_third_party`, `known_local_folder`, etc.
Ensure the path provided for `settings_path` (or the location where you expect isort to find its config) is correct and the file/directory actually exists. Use `isort --show-config` to debug how isort is discovering its configuration.
