+## Style
+
+Samples in this repository follow [PEP
+8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) and the [Google Python Style
+Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html). This is enforced using
+the [flake8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8) tool.
+
+To use the same flake8 configuration as is used in the automated test suite,
+install [nox](https://nox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and run
+
+```shell
+nox -s lint -- path/to/sample
+```
