Can imports inside a class be floated to top?

[char101]

Hi,

I like the convenience of writing my imports on top (before) of the current function and have isort float it to the top. However this only works with function and not when writing methods? Can imports inside a class also be floated to the top of the file?

To answer my own question, isort only looks at line without indent, so the answer is no.

Here is my implementation of this feature
