Switch Python Version for Vim & Syntastic

问题:

Is it possible to change the python version used by syntastic for syntax checking?

As the Issue https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic/issues/385 indicates I could use virtual-env. But is it also possible just with syntastic or vim commands?

回答1:

The below is no longer necessary, and might screw up if you're forced to work on a strictly python 2.x script.

The best option is to leave the Syntastic defaults alone, and to use conda to manage separate environments for python 3 and 2 (each with their own version-specific installs of flake8, pyflakes, etc), and to switch to the appropriate environment to edit each file. Syntastic will then call python/flake8/whatever else according to the paths set in the activated environment.

From the Syntastic repository README:

Q. The python checker complains about syntactically valid Python 3 constructs...

A. Configure the python checker to call a Python 3 interpreter rather than Python 2, e.g:

let g:syntastic_python_python_exec = '/path/to/python3'

Add that line to your .vimrc - that should fix your problem.

回答2:

In spite of all the answers here, I still find the recommendation from the FAQ to be the best. I have added this to my .vimrc so that I can easily switch between python versions.

function Py2()
  let g:syntastic_python_python_exec = '/usr/local/bin/python2.7'
endfunction

function Py3()
  let g:syntastic_python_python_exec = '/usr/local/bin/python3.6'
endfunction

call Py3()   " default to Py3 because I try to use it when possible

With those functions installed, it's easy to switch python version right within vim with :call Py2() or :call Py3() depending on what I need at the moment. No need to exit vim and activate a different virtualenv as the popular answer would have you do.

回答3:

I managed to convince Syntastic to handle Python 3 syntax with

pip3 install --user flake8

(to make python3 -m flake8 *.py work) and then, in vim:

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_exec = 'python3'
let g:syntastic_python_flake8_args = ['-m', 'flake8']

回答4:

Considering that this question is the first result that appears when searching Google for "Syntastic python3", I have the impression that most answers are too complicated for someone in a hurry, and I feel compelled to add a new one. The straightforward solution to switch to python3 is to put

let g:syntastic_python_checkers = ['python3']

in your .vimrc. One might argue that this is not the best solution, but the question is so vague that is seems necessary to begin with simple things.

回答5:

Not really, but you can get the python3 incompatible warning by install this package.

Let's say your current Syntastic Python checker is python and you want to get python3 incompatible warning. In command mode, you can add py3kwarn to g:syntastic_python_checkers by

:let g:syntastic_python_checkers=['python', 'py3kwarn']

and switch to python2.x only

:let g:syntastic_python_checkers=['python']

回答6:

If you working under virtualenv, you can use a script that detects current python version and invokes flake8 accordingly. Put the following somewhere in your path and name is flake8.sh:

#!/bin/sh
PYMAJOR=$(python --version | awk '{print $2}'| awk -F. '{print $1}')
exec /usr/bin/python$PYMAJOR /usr/bin/flake8 $*

Now in you vimrc add:

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_exe='flake8.sh'

Also make sure that both python-flake8 and python3-flake8 (on Ubuntu) are installed.

回答7:

Only I did to fix this was to do:

  let g:syntastic_python_flake8_exec = '/path/to/python3'

To make sure flake8 is synced with Python3's syntax. Even when I'm in a virtualenv works.

回答8:

Just to iterate on Zaar Hai's script a bit, something like this should work and be a bit more robust.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

_python=$(command -v python)

[[ "$(uname -s)" =~ Darwin ]] && IS_OSX=true

if [[ "$IS_OSX" ]]; then
    if command -v 'greadlink' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        greadlink -f "$_python"
    else
        echo 'Install coreutils!' >&2
    fi
else
    readlink -f "$_python"
fi
