Use isort to check if the imports on your python files are sorted the way you expect.
Add an .isort.cfg to define how you want your imports sorted and run flake8 as you usually do.
See isort documentation for .isort.cfg available options.
Install with pip:
$ pip install flake8-isort
Since version 1.0 a check for an .isort.cfg file is done,
since version 1.1 setup.cfg is also checked for an [isort] section.
This potentially avoids to lint a project that has no formal definition of how import should be sorted.
With either --no-isort-config command line switch,
or no-isort-config flake8 configuration option it can be disabled.
