camelcase-imported-as-acronym (N817)
Derived from the pep8-naming linter.
What it does
Checks for CamelCase
imports that are aliased as acronyms.
Why is this bad?
PEP 8 recommends naming conventions for classes, functions, constants, and more. The use of inconsistent naming styles between import and alias names may lead readers to expect an import to be of another type (e.g., confuse a Python class with a constant).
Import aliases should thus follow the same naming style as the member being imported.
Note that this rule is distinct from camelcase-imported-as-constant
to accommodate selective enforcement.
Also note that import aliases following an import convention according to the
lint.flake8-import-conventions.aliases
option are allowed.
