Add .coafile

[SanketDG]

coala (http://coala-analyzer.org/) is a language independent
static analysis tool that can provide patches to source code
errors. This file implements common settings for coala.

A dev-requirements.txt file is added that contains the latest
stable version of coala.

The first step would be to install coala:

$ pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

So coala uses this .coafile to decide which routines (aka bears) to run. Just running:

$ coala

would do everything your white_space.py currently does! 😄

Along with that I have added a few sections that you can run using:

$ coala <section_name>

The sections are:

pylint: Checks the whole codebase against pylint
invalidlinks: Checks docs for invalid links.
imports: Sorts imports! This is pretty trivial, but you may want to take a look.

If you need any help in this or want to learn more about the project, feel free to ping us at https://gitter.im/coala-analyzer/coala.

@SanketDG they already seem to have https://github.com/pydsa/pydsa/blob/master/white_space.py which this would replace, right?

@SanketDG Thanks for the PR.
How about using requirements.txt instead of dev-requirements.txt ?

[SanketDG]

@aktech sure I have updated the PR. Also:

• Would you like to remove white_space.py? Since coala now does all of its work.
• autopep8 shouldn't be in the dependencies IMHO, It should be in a "requirements" file. But since coala uses autopep8 to fix python code, it is not needed and hence can be removed.

Let me know what you think.

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, sure.

autopep8 shouldn't be in the dependencies IMHO, It should be in a "requirements" file. But since coala uses autopep8 to fix python code, it is not needed and hence can be removed.

Go ahead.

@aktech cool! PR's updated, let me know if you need any changes.

Great! Can you also add some basic usage instructions on the README.md file?

[SanketDG]

@aktech Done 😄

I have also added py.test to the list of requirements and accordingly updated the README.
