[pytest-dev] [proposal] big flake8 cleanup before the 3.1 release

[Florian Schulze]

Hi!

Personally I disable the line length limit and keep all other warnings.

For old projects I only fix pep8 issues in code I edit in a commit. A 
massive cleanup disrupts history and especially "blame" too much IMHO.

Regards,
Florian Schulze
