Add code linters and remove dead code

[aaaandrzej]

This addresses some of the points mentioned in [#33]:

• Fix flake8 errors
• removing dead code

Black should format the code in a way acceptable by flake8 when using current config. make lint-fix to be run against this branch once #41 is merged to avoid too many conflicts.

I probably won't be able to fix points 3-5 very soon so the question is if we want to merge it separately or whether the PR should fix all of the [#33] issues

Some little things:

• I would like to stick to single quotes instead of switching to double quotes
• Makefile is an idea, but setting up pre-commit would be a better option in my opinion

[aaaandrzej]

Single quotes seem doable, there's axblack fork of black that does that, I can add it easily. I won't be able to help with pre-commit hooks soon though, I'm afraid, as it looks like quite a big task itself. Would you accept a PR with formatting fixed, flake8 happy and dead code removed, or would you rather prefer for someone else to complete the whole [#33] at one go?

Note on the PR closure - I underestimated merge conflicts and decided to force push which closed this PR automatically, but my previous comment should be still valid.

Every single step towards better code quality is welcome. So yes, I would also merge a PR with formatting corrected, happy flake8 and dead code removed.

I won't be able to help with pre-commit hooks soon though, I'm afraid, as it looks like quite a big task itself.

Then I'll open a new issue for this.
