Making imports explicit in PyQGIS and PyQt

Question

There is a QGIS plugin based on the PyQGIS/PyQt code with some imports defined in the beginning:

from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

from qgis.core import *
from qgis.utils import *
from qgspasswordlineedit import QgsPasswordLineEdit

Due to my personal desire and the Zen of Python, I would like to make my imports explicit instead of implicit. How can I implement that?

So, instead of the from qgis.core import * it should be from qgis.core import QgsProject, QgsVectorLayer, QgsDataSourceUri, QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, Qgis.

I did the above attempt manually, maybe there is an automated way. Perhaps, I can solve it with my IDLE - PyCharm.

I am aware that this is a pure StackOverflow question, however, there might be some PyQGIS/PyQt tricks for my issue available.

Indeed as was mentioned by @J.Monticolo in a comment: removestar package is a nice option.

Tool to automatically replace import * imports in Python files with explicit imports

Requires pyflakes.

Current limitations:

• Assumes only names in the current file are used by star imports (e.g., it won’t work to replace star imports in __init__.py).

PyQGIS must be available in the same Python environment where the removestar would be installed.
