Vim plugin to sort python imports using isort

Just call the :Isort command, and it will reorder the imports of the current python file. Or select a block of imports with visual mode, and press Ctrl-i to sort them.

You can also configure isort options, check them on the isort docs.

• Install isort:

pip install isort

• Add the plugin to vim using Vundle or any other plugin manager, pointing to this repo:

Plugin 'fisadev/vim-isort'

(Or if you don’t use any plugin manager, you can just copy the python_vimisort.vim file to your .vim/ftplugin folder)

You can configure the default mapping for the visual mode sorter, like this:

let g:vim_isort_map = '<C-i>'

Or disable the mapping with this:

let g:vim_isort_map = ''

You can configure overrides for isort’s config parameters:

let g:vim_isort_config_overrides = {
  \ 'include_trailing_comma': 1, 'multi_line_output': 3}

You can also specify a particular Python version, so if isort is installed under Python 3:

let g:vim_isort_python_version = 'python3'
