Isortify uses isort to format a Python buffer. It can be called explicitly on a certain buffer, but more conveniently, a minor-mode 'isortify-mode' is provided that turns on automatically running isort on a buffer before saving. Installation: Add isortify.el to your load-path. To automatically format all Python buffers before saving, add the function isortify-mode to python-mode-hook: (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'isortify-mode)
