Hi,
I'm looking for a way to import __version__ / __author__ into my __init__.py without causing an F401 error.
Defining __version__ normally works fine:
> init.py
__version__ = '1.0.0'
__author__ = 'Jack Wilsdon <jack.wilsdon(a)gmail.com>
But if I define them in an external file and import them, I get an F401 error:
> __version__.py
__version__ = '1.0.0'
__author__ = 'Jack Wilsdon <jack.wilsdon(a)gmail.com>
> init.py
from __version__ import __version__, __author__ # I get an F
> flake8 __init__.py
__init__.py:1:1: F401 '__version.__author__' imported but unused
__init__.py:1:1: F401 '__version.__version__' imported but unused
Is there anything I can do about this? I know I could add "# noqa: F401" to the end of the import, but it just feels like a bit of a "hack" to me.
I could also add __version__ and __author__ to __all__ in init.py, but then they would be imported if anyone used "from my_module import *", which is definitely not what I want.
Is this a bug in flake8/pyflakes or just my understanding of how __version__ and __author__ are exempt from F401 errors normally.
Thanks,
Jack
