+Code Style
+---
+
+Please do not commit code with significant PEP8 violations. It's best to check
+this with a pre-commit hook:
+
+```
+#!/bin/sh
+
+if git rev-parse --verify HEAD >/dev/null 2>&1
+then
+	against=HEAD
+else
+	# Initial commit: diff against an empty tree object
+	against=4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904
+fi
+
+# Redirect output to stderr.
+exec 1>&2
+
+git diff --cached $against | flake8 --diff
+```
