This gist contains the abundantly verbose output of python pycodestyle.py --testsuite testsuite.

It's really hard to tell which of the test methods has failed because of style problems:

Research direction

Start by reviewing the testsuite and the output from python pycodestyle.py --testsuite testsuite, especially the linked gist around line 339. Determine which existing unittest tests are in scope and how pytest should report their failures. Done means the tests have been converted and the testsuite runs successfully with clearer failure identification.
