why this style?

Consider the following example which causes a merge conflict:

# developer 1
-from typing import Dict, List
+from typing import Any, Dict, List

# developer 2
-from typing import Dict, List
+from typing import Dict, List, Tuple

no conflict with the style enforced by reorder-python-imports:

+from typing import Any
 from typing import Dict
 from typing import List
+from typing import Tuple

Why not

from typing import (
+    Any,
     Dict,
     List,
+    Tuple,
)

?

It also doesn’t conflicts and you have shorter, maybe even more readable lines.

if you’re interpreting “no” as “tearing you a new one” you need to seriously reconsider your sensitivity

Fair enough, thanks for the answer. I do appreciate the tools existence and your time, wish that would have been your first reply. I didn’t open an additional issue, because this one was close enough and “why this style?” seemed sufficiently open a title inviting discussion in lieu of an official designated area. I just thought, not everyone needs to avoid merge conflicts that consequently and being open for a bit of personal style might be possible. You do have very specific and very well-founded ideas on how an issue tracker is supposed to be used and what exactly your tool want to achieve, based on a long and distinguished career. Just please remember that is not the case for everyone and not everyone shares the same ideas or has that much specific experience. In no case is that a reason to tear someone a new one. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I was particularly disrespectful or committed some sort of universally accepted faux pas.
