Add flake8 to the travis build to check for pep8 compliance.
The vast majority of the code changes are purely cosmetic. Of the top of my head I can think only two categories of changes that I wanted to run by you
One of the flags that was raised was about "bare" except: statements. I believe I replaced all of those with either except Exception: or except ValueError but let me know if you have a better way of handling that
I changed a docstring test so that it all fit on one line. Specifically, testing the DiscreteGamma function with three categories instead of four.
After you look this over, but before were merge, I can update the CHANGELOG and the version and etc.
