[Buildbot-devel] Using pep8 on Buildbot source code

I agree in general.  I think the thing that makes Buildbot a little
unusual is that, for whatever reason, we have some really long dotted
identifier chains, e.g., self.master.db.buildRequests.getBuildRequest
(and that's not even a very long one).  So I appreciate having enough
flexibility in line length, whitespace, and continuation indents to
handle things in a human-readable fashion, rather than uglifying code
to fit pep8 suggestions that aren't quite right.

I think we're all agreeing on a majority of the messages, so how about
we work on those first, and then address the whitespace/line-length
issues.
