Isort: dataclasses lib considered as part of stdlib in python 3.6

Created on 13 Oct 2020 · 3Comments · Source: PyCQA/isort

Hi,
I have installed dataclasses via pip (https://pypi.org/project/dataclasses/), I use python 3.6, but isort still reformats imports with placing import dataclasses in top section (probably into stdlib section).
Can I configure this somehow or what should I change to have it in 3rd party section?

thx

@adaamz if you don't specify the exact python version isort should use by --py flag, then as mentioned in https://github.com/PyCQA/isort/blob/develop/docs/configuration/options.md : Default is to assume any Python 3 version could be the target, and use a union of all stdlib modules across versions. You can also choose auto in --py options to use the python version of the interpreter isort is being executed from, also mentioned in https://github.com/PyCQA/isort/blob/develop/docs/configuration/options.md. I tried isort with '--py 36' option and it didn't classify dataclasses as STDLIB.

Hope this helps.

Isort 4.X (used in Coala linting aggregation utility) seems to have no option to set python version. There is -o for 'KNOWN_THIRD_PARTY' libraries and --virtual-env for setting virtual env to determine whether a package is third-party. Not much though ((
