py-isort.el

Provides commands, which use the external isort tool to tidy up the imports in the current buffer.

Install isort and download py-isort

$ pip install isort
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paetzke/py-isort.el/master/py-isort.el \
       -O /your/path/py-isort.el

You can also install py-isort with MELPA:

M-x package-install RET
py-isort RET

Add the before-save-hook to your ~/.emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path "/your/path/")
(require 'py-isort)
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'py-isort-before-save)

Now every time you save your Python file isort will be executed on the current buffer.

To customize the behaviour of isort you can set the py-isort-options e.g.

(setq py-isort-options '("--lines=100"))
