Enable only pylint for Python files in Syntastic for Vim

I want to use "pylint" for checking my Python code in Vim. To do this, I install the Syntastic plugin, along with the "pylint" package for Ubuntu. Then I specify the checker I want to use by writing the following in my .vimrc.

let g:syntastic_py_checkers = ['pylint']

But if I write :SyntasticInfo I see that two checkers are active, "python" and "pylint", I only want pylint. So I try to disable the checkers for .py files all together.

let g:syntastic_py_checkers = []

But :SyntasticInfo still says I have two checkers active.

How do I ensure that only the pylint checker is being used?

Solution

  • Try syntastic_python_checkers instead of syntastic_py_checkers:

    let g:syntastic_python_checkers = []

    or 

    let g:syntastic_python_checkers = ['pylint']
