2.0.1 - Moved to pre-commit, added licensing info

pre-commit has been added to the GitHub Actions workflow in this repository. pre-commit allows you to run multiple checks, such as black and checking the REUSE licensing compliance, both locally and on GitHub Actions with one command.

You can run pre-commit locally with pre-commit run --all-files

1.6.0 - Upgrade to latest Pylint, implement Black formatting

We have upgraded Pylint checks to use the latest version of Pylint and implemented usage of Black Python formatting. This does not change the functionality of the code - it is designed to bring it up to current standards and make it more readable.

• Remove pinned Pylint version number from build.yml file
• Synced .pylintrc file to match Adafruit standard
• Ran upgraded Pylint and applied any changes or new disables necessary
• Ran Black formatter and allowed application of changes across entire repo

For more information on using Pylint and Black on your code, check out this guide on working with Pylint and Black

Remove dependency on math; speed up fill()

1. The math library may not always be available, so uses of math.ceil() were replaced with equivalent calculations.
2. fill() was sped up by about 25% by using range() instead of enumerate().
