Style guide
-----------
We generally follow `pep8
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_, with 120 columns
instead of 79. We do *not* use form-feed (``^L``) characters to
separate sections either. The `flake8
<https://flake8.readthedocs.org/>`_ commandline tool should be used to
check for style errors before sending pull requests.
