Apply static-analysis checks to enforce Python import conventions and ordering, validating that standard library, third-party, and local imports are grouped and sorted correctly. This maintains clean import structures and improves code maintainability.

Disallowing relative imports encourages explicit module boundaries and prevents import-related issues during development. Static-analysis checks can warn on or restrict relative imports to maintain clear dependency graphs across your project.

Follow TYPE_CHECKING guidance to promote safe typing imports and avoid runtime overhead. Document recommended patterns for placing typing imports inside TYPE_CHECKING blocks so they are only evaluated during static analysis, not at runtime.

Yes, static-analysis checks can validate import placement and document recommended patterns for optional dependencies. This ensures optional packages are imported safely without breaking the core application when they are not installed.

Import linting targets code in both the main package and tests. It guides the organization of stdlib, third-party, and local imports during development across your entire project to reduce import-related issues.
