thanks for the reply! we use a bunch of goofy ones that nobody else does. one of them is like a 3 line plugin that has only a handful of stars on github.

      flake8-import-order
      flake8-builtins
      flake8-future-annotations
      flake8-docstrings
      flake8-rst-docstrings
      flake8-import-single

Oh heh yeah I saw flake8-import-single :)

That might be equivalent to using Ruff's isort implementation with `force_single_line` but maybe that comes with other implications that you don't want for SQLAlchemy.

I really tried to use isort but it doesnt do the import order style that we use, and there were some other things that didnt work for us. flake8-import-order has selectable styles that I match in my own "zimports" tool that we use to actually write our imports. flake8-import-single then adds this extra idea that you shouldn't have "from tool import x, y, z", since that defeats the purpose import sorting which is to avoid merge artifacts.
