"""

import subprocess

from django.test import TestCase


class TestCodingStyle(TestCase):
    """

    def test_flake8(self):
        """Testing the retval of flake8 command to be zero (PEP8 check)."""
        p = subprocess.Popen('flake8')
        retval = p.wait()
        self.assertEqual(retval, 0)

    def test_isort(self):
        """Testing the retval of `isort -rc -c .` command to be zero. (import sort order)"""
        p = subprocess.Popen('isort -rc -c .', shell=True)
        retval = p.wait()
        self.assertEqual(retval, 0)

Thanks! When running isort, I had to use "shell=False"; otherwise I got this error:

Nothing to do: no files or paths have have been passed in!

strange, since this code is working fine for me. maybe some local file structure issue or python/isort version
