python scripts: pep8ize codebase
This was done with the aid of the pep8 script, available by running `easy_install pep8`. It may be worth making this part of ./check, but that will require putting pep8 into the development tools stratum. This should be easy, given pep8 has no external dependencies.

This class acts exactly like the normal ``file`` class, except that
it is meant only for saving data to files. The data is written to
a temporary file, which gets renamed to the target name when the
open file is closed. This avoids readers of the file from getting
an incomplete file.
-
+
Example:
-
+
f = SaveFile('foo', 'w')
f.write(stuff)
f.close()
-
+
The file will be called something like ``tmpCAFEBEEF`` until ``close``
is called, at which point it gets renamed to ``foo``.
-
+
If the writer decides the file is not worth saving, they can call the
``abort`` method, which deletes the temporary file.
