Custom style for flake8?

[nalourie-ai2]

• alexafsm version: 0.1.0
• Python version: 3.6.0
• Operating System: El Capitan

Description

Running flake8 on the master branch I get a lot of style errors, which seems like a lot of noise. It makes me guess that maybe there are different settings that you're using with flake8 to develop, and I'm wondering what those settings are / if contributers should use them when submitting pull requests.

Flake8 should be run from tox.

pip install tox (in system Python, not in virtualenv)

Then:

tox

[nalourie-ai2]

That makes sense. Perhaps its worth removing the instructions about running flake8 and the test suite manually from the contributing instructions, as python devs unfamiliar with tox might become confused by it.

[vha14]

Yes. I'll update CONTRIBUTING.md accordingly.
