Isort: Ability to add newline between normal import and from import

[orsenthil]

It is often desirable to separate the two import styles with a newline.

I realize that there is no option to tune that functionality. Can this be added to isort? If yes, I am ready to submit a patch.

import module

from module import ClassName

I think lines_between_types=1 does what you want

@jaap3 is correct,

Thanks!

The lines_between_types option doesn't seem to be documented however.

Things have since changed, for any future visitors:

• lines_between_sections=0
• on the CLI 4.3.4 the flag -lbt does nothing (looks like it hasn't been updated)
