"""
Checks that SymPy does not contain indirect imports.

An indirect import is importing a symbol from a module that itself imported the
symbol from elsewhere. Such a constellation makes it harder to diagnose
inter-module dependencies and import order problems, and is therefore strongly
discouraged.

(Indirect imports from end-user code is fine and in fact a best practice.)

Implementation note: Forcing Python into actually unloading already-imported
submodules is a tricky and partly undocumented process. To avoid these issues,
the actual diagnostic code is in bin/diagnose_imports, which is run as a
separate, pristine Python process.
