import-shadowed-by-loop-var (F402)

Derived from the Pyflakes linter.

What it does

Checks for import bindings that are shadowed by loop variables.

Why is this bad?

Shadowing an import with loop variables makes the code harder to read and reason about, as the identify of the imported binding is no longer clear. It's also often indicative of a mistake, as it's unlikely that the loop variable is intended to be used as the imported binding.

Consider using a different name for the loop variable.

Example

from os import path

for path in files:
    print(path)

Use instead:

from os import path


for filename in files:
    print(filename)
