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.wils...@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.wils...@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.
