banned-import-alias (ICN002)

Derived from the flake8-import-conventions linter.

What it does

Checks for imports that use non-standard naming conventions, like import tensorflow.keras.backend as K.

Why is this bad?

Consistency is good. Avoid using a non-standard naming convention for imports, and, in particular, choosing import aliases that violate PEP 8.

For example, aliasing via import tensorflow.keras.backend as K violates the guidance of PEP 8, and is thus avoided in some projects.

Example

import tensorflow.keras.backend as K

Use instead:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.keras.backend
