I originally wrote this simple program as a standalone script and published it as a gist as an answer to this Stack Overflow question. Since then quite some people have taken interest in it since it's so simple and effective. Therefore I finally moved my lazy bones and made a GitHub repository 🐙.

virtualenv -p $(which python2) env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
tox- using Python 3.5+
