abs-imports

A pre-commit hook to automatically convert relative imports to absolute.

Installation

pip install abs-imports

Usage as a pre-commit hook

See pre-commit for instructions

Sample .pre-commit-config.yaml:

-   repo: https://github.com/MarcoGorelli/abs-imports
    rev: v0.2.0
    hooks:
    -   id: abs-imports

Command-line example

$ cat mypackage/myfile.py
from . import __version__
$ abs_imports mypackage/myfile.py
$ cat mypackage/myfile.py
from mypackage import __version__

If your package follows the popular ./src layout, you can pass your application directories via --application-directories, e.g.

 cat src/mypackage/myfile.py
from . import __version__
$ abs_imports src/mypackage/myfile.py --application-directories src
$ cat src/mypackage/myfile.py
from mypackage import __version__

Multiple application directories should be comma-separate, e.g. --application-directories .:src. This is the same as in reorder-python-imports.
