Python2 and Python3 Linter support? Am I doing this wrong?

[zwolfe21]

I might be going about this the wrong way, but sometimes I edit both python2 and python3. Now, this ends up being a problem with pyflakes linter messages. I found a work around but it seems like I might have missed something, must be an easier way, if not, suggestion I suppose!

I install both language server packages

pip install python-language-server --user
pip3 install python-language-server --user

All I gotta do to get Atom, or rather pyflakes from Atom to use either one is edit the first line in ~/.local/bin/pyls to point to either /usr/bin/python2 or /usr/bin/python3.

With that, I have both syntax support. I feel like I gotta be making that more complicated?

PS: I Use Fedora

You may want to try the new virtualenv support intruduced in #38.

pyls now allows to be run with the -m flag: palantir/python-language-server#344

I think we should switch to this mechanism so people can easily switch between Python versions using a config setting. Though this may be a breaking change for some people since we would need to change the way we start the language server.
