+Import sorting is controlled by `isort <https://pycqa.github.io/isort/>`__. An isort
+configuration is part of the ``setup.cfg`` in the root directory.
-For code formatting we use `Flake8 <http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/>`__. You can find a ``.flake8``
-configuration file in the root directory.

-Additionally we check for code errors with `Pylint <https://www.pylint.org/>`__. We provide a
-``.pylintrc`` file in the root directory which defines differences from the default
-Pylint configuration. Your IDE may help with linting your code too!
