Coding Style
------------
Swift use flake8 with the OpenStack `hacking`_ module to enforce
coding style.
Install flake8 and hacking with pip or by the packages of your
Operating System.
It is advised to integrate flake8+hacking with your editor to get it
automated and not get `caught` by Jenkins.
For example for Vim the `syntastic`_ plugin can do this for you.
