unnecessary-builtin-import (UP029)

Added in v0.0.211 · Related issues · View source

Derived from the pyupgrade linter.

Fix is always available.

What it does

Checks for unnecessary imports of builtins.

Why is this bad?

Builtins are always available. Importing them is unnecessary and should be removed to avoid confusion.

Example

from builtins import str

str(1)

Use instead:

str(1)

Fix safety

This fix is marked as unsafe because it will remove comments attached to the unused import.

Options

This rule will not trigger on imports required by the isort configuration.
