Make auto-generated / vendored files pass pre-commit hooks

Expected Behavior

We want pre-commit hooks to pass

Current Behavior

There are various files that we don't necessarily need to pass checks, and many of our repos have them

for example, versioneer.py uses raw strings in regex that flake8 doesn't like

for line in f.readlines():
            if line.strip().startswith("git_refnames ="):
                mo = re.search(r'=\s*"(.*)"', line)
                if mo:

docs/conf.py also has import orders that might be necessary but isort objects to.

Possible Solution

• Omit these files from pre-commit hooks?
• Fix all the files in the same way?

List of files to skip checks on:

• versioneer
  • versioneer.py
  • {repo}/version.py
• docs/source/conf.py
• cookiecutter
  • {repo}/cookiecutter/.*/conf.yml (hutch-python specific?)

Context

we want style. See the related elog PR

Your Environment

all of them, but pcds-5.3.1

Start by running the pre-commit hooks and reviewing versioneer.py, docs/source/conf.py, generated version.py files, and the cookiecutter conf.yml pattern listed in the issue. Compare the related elog PR discussion for the intended handling. Done means the hooks pass for these generated or vendored files without removing necessary checks.
