Syntax checking is not working

[lunemec]

When I create file with obvious syntax error, or bad import or other such thing, nothing happens. No errors, no warnings. Even after :w save still nothing. I installed pyflakes again with pip install pyflakes --upgrade, but I still have this issue. Any ideas?

Thanks. I am aware of this. pyflakes can't run if there is a syntax error in the document. But instead it should show a compile error. I still have to do that.

Maybe you can asynchronously use pylint instead of pyflakes? I think pylint can detect syntax errors. The check I use in vim comes from python-mode and that is using pylama:
