        "content": "To disable the Ruff warning \u201cModule level import not at top of file\u201d (this is error code **E402**, also known in newer Ruff versions as **PLC0415: import-outside-top-level**) in VS Code, you have a few options depending on how broadly you want to suppress it (file-level, project-wide, specific imports). Below are several methods with examples.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Identify the rule to disable\n\n- **E402** \u2014 the traditional code for \u201cmodule level import not at top of file\u201d (from `pycodestyle` style checks). ([blog.csdn.net](https://blog.csdn.net/jaket5219999/article/details/142371274?utm_source=openai))  \n- **PLC0415** \u2014 the newer Ruff rule name: `import-outside-top-level`. ([docs.astral.sh](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/import-outside-top-level/?utm_source=openai))\n\nKnowing both lets you disable either or both depending on how your configuration is set up.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Disable in a file with an `# noqa` comment\n\nIf it\u2019s just one problematic import or file, insert a comment on the line or at the top:\n\n- Disable for a single import line:\n\n  ```python\n  import something  # noqa: E402\n  ```\n\n- Disable for entire file at the very top:\n\n  ```python\n  # ruff: noqa: E402\n  ```\n\nThis will stop Ruff from flagging E402 violations in that file. ([skillhub.club](https://www.skillhub.club/skills/povertyaction-ipa-research-data-science-hub-ruff?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 3. Project-wide via config \u2014 `pyproject.toml` or `ruff.toml`\n\nIn your project's configuration file, you can ignore E402 or PLC0415 either globally or per-file/pattern.\n\n### Globally ignore the rule\n\nIn `pyproject.toml` or `ruff.toml`, add under `[tool.ruff.lint]`:\n\n```toml\n[tool.ruff.lint]\nignore = [\"E402\", \"PLC0415\"]\n```\n\nThis tells Ruff not to report E402 or PLC0415 anywhere in the project. ([docs.astral.sh](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/settings/?utm_source=openai))\n\n### Ignore the rule for specific files or patterns\n\nIf you want to suppress it only for certain files (e.g., notebooks, test files), use `per-file-ignores`:\n\n```toml\n[tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores]\n\"*.ipynb\" = [\"E402\"]\n\"path/to/specific_file.py\" = [\"E402\", \"PLC0415\"]\n```\n\nThis allows you to fine-tune where the rule is ignored. ([stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77886120/how-to-ignore-ruff-errors-in-jupyter-notebook-in-vscode?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 4. Extension settings in VS Code\n\nIf you are using the Ruff extension in VS Code, it typically respects your `pyproject.toml`/`ruff.toml` settings. But you may also adjust settings in your `.vscode/settings.json` (if the extension supports this) to ensure Ruff uses your project config.\n\nExample in `.vscode/settings.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"ruff.args\": [\"--config=./pyproject.toml\"]\n}\n```\n\nMake sure your config file is referenced and used by the extension.\n\n---\n\n## 5. Move or reorder imports where possible\n\nRuff is enforcing best practices per PEP 8. If it\u2019s feasible, moving import statements to the top of the file (after any shebangs or docstrings) can avoid triggering this warning. However, sometimes imports appear after code that modifies `sys.path` etc., and disabling may make sense in those cases. ([github.com](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/5557?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me how broadly you want to disable it (just one file, notebooks, entire project) and whether you want to disable E402, PLC0415, or both, I can give you the exact config you'll need."
