Set up atom linter-python on Windows?

Question

I am trying to get a Python linter working in the atom editor on Windows 7 but it seems to do nothing.

I have:

1. Installed the latest atom editor (version 0.194.0) on Windows,
2. Installed linter, and
3. Installed linter-pyflakes.

4. Set the following in my atom config file as instructed in linter-pyflakes' README file.

   "linter-pyflakes": pyflakesExecutablePath: "C:\Users\blokeley\Anaconda3\Scripts"

There seems to be no linter activity when I edit a Python file.

I opened an issue on the linter-pyflakes project but it got no response.

Is the path to the executable wrong? How can I check what linter is doing?

Answer 1

Install linter-flake8 instead.
