VimPlugin: Syntastic

Syntastic is a multi-programming-language error checker. It uses external error checkers, and integrates them into vim.

NOTE:

I like ALE much better.

NOTE vim does not read your .pythonrc, so it is necessary to extend your pythonpath in your bashrc. (I wrote a wrapper function for dirtools.recurseDir that saves the results of recurseDir to a bash array).

ALSO NOTE
Syntastic is very particular about the binaries it accepts as syntax checkers. It reject's the arch repo's python2-pylint because it is called pylint2. Instead, sudo pip2 install pylint

	set statusline+=%#warningmsg#
	set statusline+=%{SyntasticStatuslineFlag()}
	set statusline+=%*
	
	let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 1
	let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
	let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
	let g:syntastic_check_on_wq = 0

Python

	"" Syntastic is very particular about executable's names
	"" Do not install python2-pylint, instead install it with pip:
	"" 	sudo pip2 install pylint

	let g:syntastic_python_checkers = ['python', 'pylint']
