Integration with PyCharm

[ramusus]

Is it possible to integrate isort features to PyCharm ?

I'm interested in this as well.

Super interested in this!

You can set up an external tool like this:


Then, you can even bind it to a shortcut for easy access:

awesome, thanks a lot for solution!

It does not work correctly if isort placed somewhere outside of project, i.e. ~/.virtualenvs/*
3rd party modules and project modules are merged together
Though I guess it is pycharm problem - it uses full path when running external program

[teeberg]

isort does not always correctly detect which modules are third-party and which ones are yours. You can tell it to treat certain modules as third-party by passing -o module_name (-o is short for --thirdparty according to isort --help). I ended up creating an .isort.cfg in my project's top level folder which contains a section like this:

[settings]
known_third_party=caching,provider

This can then be nicely versioned and everybody in your team is on the same page. :-) From inside pycharm, I'm then invoking isort as

$PyInterpreterDirectory$/isort --settings-path $ProjectFileDir$ $FilePath$

Looking at the code, it treats all packages as third-party that have either site-packages or dist-packages in their import path. That probably doesn't include any packages that you installed via pip install -e.

+1 for the trick with settings

[redpublic]

Thanks for $PyInterpreterDirectory$/isort
I have been running system wide isort which does not have many of project specific 3rd party modules that is why it treated them and project modules the same way.

As of #434, you can now also simply pass --virtual-env <dir> to isort, wherever it is installed

No longer needed, Pycharm does this itself now :)

@teeberg Update the solution with the description for "Output Filters setup" for console clickable links

@Skyross my console output only shows:

/Users/jonas/code/project/env/bin/isort --settings-path /Users/jonas/code/project --virtual-env=/Users/jonas/code/project/env/bin/../ /Users/jonas/code/project/api.py

Process finished with exit code 0

which part of that do you want to make clickable?
