linter-flake8 | Linting Python files on the fly using flake8 with Atom | Code Analyzer library

• This's the solution for fixing the console problem which we're facing when we decide to install Linter-flake8 for Python3. It has been tested in Linux and Debian.

• Linter-flake8 default installation meant to be for python 2.7 beside if you read the description of the package, you will also find that their implementation was for python 2.7 not for python3.
• Default installation package simulates directly with python 2.7, not for python3. so, you have to install the package using the commands of python3.
• Even after inserting your Executable PATH will be only mere of spectacular. Because you need to install flake8 in terms of python3, not python2.

1. Install Linter-flake8 From Atom and then restart your IDE.
2. Check if it's actually being installed via your package manager by executing: which flake8 in your terminal.
3. Reopen your IDE and click Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Search in Atom.
4. Search for Application: Open the Init Script.
5. Then, Write in the init.coffee this code:

Please ensure you've followed these steps:

1. Install SublimeText packages (help)

   • SublimeLinter
   • SublimeLinter-flake8

2. Install Flake8 (use pip, or pip3 if you have multiple python versions)

   • pip3 install flake8
3. Configure flake8 settings
   1. Open Sublime Text
   2. Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Package Settings -> Sublime Linter -> Settings
   3. Set the path to the desired python version:

_{Notice: Custom settings needs to be on the right(user) side!}

Instead of putting a file into the directory ~/.config/flake8, the name of the file should be flake8 and it should be placed in the ~/.config directory:

For example with the config in the following location:

SublimeLinter's settings file now contains a message template parameter which defaults to showing only the error message, documented as follows in the default settings file:

The error already tells you what is wrong.

As per the documentation for linter-flake8: To use this plugin flake8 will need to be installed on your system.

With regard to installing software, it is generally helpful to put your operating system in the tags. Installing stuff on ms-windows is different from Linux or other UNIX-like operating systems.

I ended up fixing this with online help. I believe I ran into trouble because I had installed all packages within atom itself.

I may have have installed the pip packages incorrectly.

Anyway, I removed everything and rebooted. Then followed this:

http://www.marinamele.com/install-and-configure-atom-editor-for-python

Then, I made sure my environment variables were correct. I want Python 3 at the top.

Then I reinstalled Atom and updated. Rebooted again.

Then I installed everything through pip3 and apm on the command line, rather than through the UI in atom editor.

Started atom, allowed firewall, let it update dependencies.

Rebooted. Worked! Still not sure why though; what I've done this time is essentially no different as far as I can tell.
