isort VS pyre-check

isort: This library sorts your imports alphabetically, and automatically separates them into sections and by type. It provides a cleaner and more organised way to manage project imports.

isort will sort the imports for you

isort is a Python utility that helps in sorting and organizing import statements in Python code to create readable and consistent code. It automatically formats import statements in accordance with PEP 8.

isort

isort , A Python utility / library to sort imports.

Install black and isort and just don't worry about it. :-)

Sure. Also, and don't take this the wrong way, but there are some code smells in your project that could be partially mitigated with some basic linting/formatting. I suggest black as a code formatter, flake8 for basic linting, and isort for sorting imports (for example, you have local imports mixed in with standard library and third party imports). You can install these via pip and most editors (like VS Code) can autoformat on save and show you linting problems as you edit. And you can integrate these into your workflow by using pre-commit.

Did you come across pyre in your search? MIT license and pretty fast.

https://github.com/facebook/pyre-check

Pyre is a performant type-checker developed by Facebook. Pyre can analyse codebases with millions of lines of code incrementally – providing instantaneous feedback to developers as they write code.

Pyre from Meta, pyright from Microsoft and PyType from Google provide additional assistance. They can 'infer' types based on code flow and existing types within the code.

Have you seen Pyre[0]? Not Rust, OCaml, and pretty fast. Made by a team at Meta and open sourced on GitHub. If you use python-lsp, I wrote an extension[1] to enable integration (though I haven't tested it recently, been programming in rust; it is mostly a "for me" extension).

Internally we use Pyre for Python type checking: https://github.com/facebook/pyre-check

Before type hinting, work had intense rules and linters enforcing docstrings with types. Now, type hints and automatic pyre runs take care of all the heavy lifting.

Python now has an optional type system and if you add one of them such as mypy or pyre to your CI process and you can configure GitHub to refuse the pull request until types are added you can make it somewhat strongly typed.

If you have a preexisting codebase I believe the way you can convert it is to add the types that you know on commits and eventually you will have enough types that adding the missing ones should be easy. For the missing ones Any is a good choice.
