Description g.mann 2017-04-20 19:11:03 UTC 
I am using Django, and in the tutorial they ask us to write this statement:

from . import views

this is supposed to import the file "views.py". But every time I auto-format (Alt-Shift-F), it results in this statement:

from  import views

which is obviously an error.

Thanks for you report. I was able to reproduce the problem. It comes from a bug in jython (http://bugs.jython.org/issue2598).

In the mean time, I made a workaround in
