Autoformatting for Python files

[fredrik-bakke]

A recent update to pre-commit or Python led to breaking changes for the autoformatting functionality for Python files, so I had to disable them in #701. However, such functionality would be useful to have back.

That's concerning, tool updates should not change code style. I suspect that we don't actually have autopep8 configured and we were relying on some default behavior which might have changed recently. Let me see what's up

For reference, here are the installed versions on my machine:

frebak@Fredriks-MacBook-Pro ~ % python3 --version
Python 3.11.6
frebak@Fredriks-MacBook-Pro ~ % python --version
Python 3.11.6
frebak@Fredriks-MacBook-Pro ~ % pre-commit --version
pre-commit 3.5.0

I didn't make this entirely clear in the issue body, but the built-in pre-commit hook double-quote-string-fixer also broke for Python files with my update, which suggests to me that this is a breaking change on pre-commit's side and not Python.
