Imports moved above a sys.path.insert call, breaking code

[marsfan]

Sometimes I need to add a path to the system path to be able to import a file. (Commonly when working with Sphinx).

When I then run autopep8 to format the file, it moves the imports to be above the call to sys.path.insert, breaking the code.

---

Python Code

import os
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(".."))
import test_package

Command Line and Configuration

Command Line

$ autopep8 conf.py

Your Environment

• Python version: 3.9, 3.10
• autopep8 version: 1.5.7
• Platform: Windows 10

Ok. I just realized that this is likely due to pycodestyle, not this extension. Closing

wdym? This is a regression as autopep8 should be safe.
