+* A function to sort python includes
+
+  At work I use Python. Our project is getting bigger and bigger,
+  import statements are growing. We use the following style:
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC python :tangle no
+    from somemodule import (
+        Class1,
+        Class2,
+        Class3,
+    )
+  #+END_SRC
+
+  Which we found to be one of the better-looking ways to handle
+  multi-line import statements. To sort these lines I wrote a very
+  simplistic (and error-prone, but I'll handle it when I get to it)
+  command.
+
+  All it does is save the current point, searches backwards for a ~(~,
+  then forwards for a ~)~ and sorts the region in between (not
+  including) the ~()~.
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+    (defun sort-imports ()
+      (interactive)
+      (save-excursion
+        (sort-lines nil (1+ (search-backward "("))
+                    (1- (search-forward ")")))))
+  #+END_SRC
