It’s a stand-alone Nova extension to use isort, a Python utility to sort imports .
Before using the extension, it’s necessary to install isort itself if you don’t have one already.
isort can be installed simply by running pip install isort.
The extension supports both global and workspace configurations. A workspace configuration always overrides a global one.
There are three options available to configure: executable path, command arguments,
and format on save. By default, the executable path is /usr/local/bin/isort, with no
additional arguments, and formatting on saving is on.
You could alter the executable path if isort installed in a different place
or if /usr/bin/env usage is desirable.
In the case of /usr/bin/env, it becomes the executable path, and isort becomes
the first argument.
Also, there is a virtual environment path available as a workspace-only option.
It’s just a handy alias for the --virtual-env command argument.
The extension respects pyproject.toml in a project directory. So, there’s no
need to specify the --settings argument explicitly.
