GitHub Action lint Python code for syntax errors (#4688)
* GitHub Action lint Python code for syntax errors https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/error-codes.html On the flake8 test selection, this PR does _not_ focus on "_style violations_" (the majority of flake8 error codes that [__psf/black__](https://github.com/psf/black) can autocorrect). Instead these tests are focus on runtime safety and correctness: * E9 tests are about Python syntax errors usually raised because flake8 can not build an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). Often these issues are a sign of unused code or code that has not been ported to Python 3. These would be compile-time errors in a compiled language but in a dynamic language like Python they result in the script halting/crashing on the user. * F63 tests are usually about the confusion between identity and equality in Python. Use ==/!= to compare str, bytes, and int literals is the classic case. These are areas where __a == b__ is True but __a is b__ is False (or vice versa). Python >= 3.8 will raise SyntaxWarnings on these instances. * F7 tests logic errors and syntax errors in type hints * F82 tests are almost always _undefined names_ which are usually a sign of a typo, missing imports, or code that has not been ported to Python 3. These also would be compile-time errors in a compiled language but in Python a __NameError__ is raised which will halt/crash the script on the user. * Force a retest * Rename start_rpc_server_to_tracker.py to start_rpc_server_to_tracker.sh This is a bash file, not a Python file.
