useless-import-alias / C0414

Message emitted:

Import alias does not rename original package

Description:

Used when an import alias is same as original package, e.g., using import numpy as numpy instead of import numpy as np.

Problematic code:

import pandas as pandas  # [useless-import-alias]

Correct code:

import pandas as pd

Known issue

If you prefer to use "from-as" to explicitly reexport in API (from fruit import orange as orange) instead of using __all__ this message will be a false positive.

Use --allow-reexport-from-package to allow explicit reexports by alias in package __init__ files.
