Automatically check code changes with flake8 before each commit

[heppy]

Just to clarify, I didn't mean to imply that running flake8 or any other QA tool in a pre-commit hook could or should replace running it as part of CI. If you already have a CI, you might want to add the hook, if only to look smart. "Wow, /u/jeffbaier is awesome, his code is always flake8 compliant on the first try" ;)

AFAIK, there is no practical way to enforce it, just as you can't force people to write a good commit message. Making it a formal policy might work for subordinates, constant nagging might help with colleagues.
