Hi!
I hope you're doing well. If you're still looking for a solution to your use case, I wanted to suggest this option: https://pycqa.github.io/isort/docs/configuration/options.html#src-paths. Let me know if it's not what you are looking for :)

If I understand the documentation correctly your suggested src-paths option allows to specify a source path (

modules within src paths have their imports automatically categorized as first_party (link)

). So this option modifies how modules within src-paths have their imports sorted. This is not what I am looking for. I want to specify

One or more Python source files that need their imports sorted (link)

in a config file. The documentation says that

Python & Config File Name: Not Supported

for this option.

So my question is still remains: Why is it not supported and will it be upported in the future?
