Potential fix for https://github.com/linode/py-metadata/security/code-scanning/13
In general, this warning is fixed by choosing a single import style for a module and removing redundant imports. If specific attributes or classes are imported with
from module import Name, then a bareimport moduleis only needed if the module object itself is used (e.g.,module.Nameormodule.some_function()).For this file, the simplest, behavior‑preserving fix is to remove the unused
import linode_metadataon line 7 and keep the explicit imports ofMetadataClient,AsyncMetadataClient,ApiError, andMetadataToken. No code in the snippet uses thelinode_metadatanamespace directly, so this deletion does not change runtime behavior. Concretely, edittest/integration/test_token.pyand delete the lineimport linode_metadata, leaving all other imports and code unchanged. No additional methods, definitions, or imports are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
