Is there any chance we could switch to using flake8 here instead?
flake8 *uses* pyflakes but adds `# noqa: code, code` support to ignore
specific linting errors on specific lines. See
http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/ignoring-errors.html.

Flake8 is also vastly more flexible and our check-code.py could
possibly be converted into a plugin for flake8.
