Refactor

This is a single tool for now but might grow to include more.

This is pretty early, pretty rough software. Treat it as alpha quality and carefully check any edits it makes.

Update imports

This helps you move code around in a project. For example, if you have

pkg/
  mod1.py
    def func():
    ...
somefile.py
  from pkg.mod1 import func

and you want to move func to mod2.py, you'd move the code manually, and then from the top level dir run

python update_imports.py --move=pkg.mod1.func,pkg.mod2.func --verbose

after which, you'd have

somefilepy.py
  from pkg.mod2 import func

This works for moving packages, modules, and symbols. Relative imports must start with a .. It can update relative imports, although will convert them to absolute imports in some cases. It only updates imports so can't automatically fix things if you import foo.bar and move/rename foo.

It may result in slightly messy imports, for example it may create a new from import as part of a move even if one already exists that it could have added to, so you may want to run an import prettifier after it's done, like https://github.com/miki725/importanize or https://github.com/timothycrosley/isort.
