Verification

isort extension adds import organization support using the isort library. You should not have to install isort in your environment. Try this for example:

Create a python file with following code:

import unittest
import re
import sys
import atexit
import os
print('done')

You would see diagnostics like this:

You can trigger import sorting using shift+alt+o:

The first one there is from the prototype extension, the second one comes from python extension. Click on the first one.

Result should be something like this:

import atexit
import os
import re
import sys
import unittest

print('done')

You can add this to your settings to automatically do this for you and work with black formatter.

    "[python]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.black-formatter"
    },
    "editor.codeActionsOnSave": { "source.organizeImports": true },
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "isort.args": ["--profile", "black"]

@karthiknadig In the snippet above, shouldn't the setting be "isort.args": ["--profile", "black"]?

[karthiknadig]

@gregvanl you are correct. I updated the snippet.
