If I read the logs correctly, commands python-add-import, python-fix-imports, etc. will be introduced with Emacs 29. I am surprised there's no NEWS item related to those commands. Are the menu entries considered enough? They're really cool commands (despite bug#64397). Let me suggest one easy improvement. The variable python--list-imports starts with: from isort import find_imports_in_stream, find_imports_in_paths but find_imports_in_stream and find_imports_in_paths were introduced in version 5.7.0 of the isort library. Debian bookworm has isort version 5.6.4 in its package repositories. Thus the commands python-add-import, python-fix-imports, and python-remove-import don't work as expected on such system. Could one apply the following patch to make the expected version clear to Emacs users? diff --git a/lisp/progmodes/python.el b/lisp/progmodes/python.el index d9ca37145e1..353dd960a4e 100644 --- a/lisp/progmodes/python.el +++ b/lisp/progmodes/python.el @@ -6420,7 +6420,7 @@ python--list-imports (mapcar #'file-local-name source))))) lines) (unless (eq 0 status) - (error "%s exited with status %s (maybe isort is missing?)" + (error "%s exited with status %s (maybe isort>=5.7.0 is missing?)" python-interpreter status)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (not (eobp)) @@ -6465,7 +6465,7 @@ python--do-isort "-m" "isort" "-" args)) (tick (buffer-chars-modified-tick))) (unless (eq 0 status) - (error "%s exited with status %s (maybe isort is missing?)" + (error "%s exited with status %s (maybe isort>=5.7.0 is missing?)" python-interpreter status)) (replace-buffer-contents temp) (not (eq tick (buffer-chars-modified-tick))))))))) -- Matthias
