I made the requested changes.

For the PEP8-related failures, I think Travis is simply complaining about this rule “Don't use spaces around the = sign when used to indicate a keyword argument or a default parameter value.” (see http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#other-recommendations)

How did you pick up a commit from Christoph?

@adasilva I am not sure what your familiarity with git is. Could you rebase this onto current master and drop that first commit?

Please ask questions if you need help. The rebase guide I like best is still a PR #2742 (I really should finish that).

If this all seems like a disaster and git fights back I can take care of it.

@tacaswell hmm, I'm not sure how that happened. I'm not very confident with rebasing, so let me check in on the process. I started following along the guide you linked to. So far, I added matplotlib/matplotlib as a remote:
git remote add matplotlib https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib
Then fetched from the remote:
git fetch matplotlib
Then I started to rebase:
git rebase matplotlib/master
This is the output:
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Applying: cleaned up animate_decay.py Applying: cleaned up double_pendulum_animated.py Applying: diversified names on vertical axis Applying: changed while loop to for loop in animate_decay.py
Then I looked at the status:
On branch master Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, and have 23 and 5 different commits each, respectively. (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)
Which looks a little different than the output in the doc. Am I still on the right track? In particular, it does not say rebase in process anywhere in my output.

Actually I might be making this more difficult. I was using rebase to edit the previous commit where there were some small mistakes, and I think that is where I picked up the previous commit. If I run
git rebase -i HEAD~5
then delete the line of the commit that shouldn't be there, will that do what we want?

Yes, i think so.

@adasilva It sounds like you've got the idea, but you can grab me on facebook chat if it doesn't work. :)

I removed the extra commit.... any advice on how to resolve the new issues of the failing checks?

You can ignore the test failures. Coveralls have some issues with figuring out what to compare agains (and we don't have tests of examples anyway) and the tests that failed appveyor is known to be flaky.

@jenshnielsen OK thanks!
