Description

I'm requesting comments on the proposal that we use black to format the python codebase and flake8 to lint.

Initially, these can be used incrementally, but eventually they should be enforced as part of the CI.

Thoughts, comments? @SheffieldML/gpy-admin

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current codebase formatting consistency, test black and flake8 locally, and propose a step by step setup including a CI configuration. Check for existing linter configurations in the repository. Look at similar PRs in other Python projects for guidance.
