[DEV] Standardized Coding Style

[getchoo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
currently there is no standard coding style for the project, making it difficult to implement code and have it match the rest of the project

Describe the solution you'd like
a formatter and/or linter tool like flake8, black, or yapf could be implemented and easily integrated through something like github actions.

Describe alternatives you've considered
editorconfig could be a good alternative, and would cover all files instead of just python (it also has a github action) - however, it might not provide the same integration and warnings in comparision. editorconfig can be used alongside them though, which would provide the best coverage across files.
