How to sort python imports in vs code

sorting imports in python is a common practice that helps improve the readability and organization of your code. visual studio code (vs code) supports several extensions and tools to help automate this process. below, i'll provide a comprehensive tutorial on how to sort python imports using vs code, including code examples.

### step 1: install required extensions

1. **python extension**: first, make sure you have the official python extension for vs code installed. you can find it in the extensions marketplace by searching for "python."

2. **isort**: this is a python utility that automatically sorts imports in your python files. you can install it via pip:



### step 2: configure isort

### step 3: automatically sort imports on save

you can configure vs code to automatically sort imports whenever you save a python file. here’s how to do that:

1. open the settings (`ctrl + ,` or `cmd + ,` on macos).
2. search for `format on save` and enable the `editor: format on save` option.
3. search for `python formatting provider` and ensure it’s set to `autopep8`, `black`, or `yapf` (if you want to use one of these formatters alongside `isort`).

### step 4: example code with unsorted imports

here’s a sample python file with unsorted imports:

### step 5: sort imports manually

if you want to sort imports manually, you can do so by running the `isort` command in your terminal for a specific file:

### step 6: save and automatically sort

once you’ve set everything up, simply save your python file in vs code, and the imports should automatically be sorted according to your configuration. the file should now loo ...
