Using pylint with Syntastic for Vim makes it really slow. flake8 seems to catch the most relevant errors, but I like to disable some of them.

[flake8]
max-line-length = 120
# E265: The one about comments starting '# '
# E127,E128: Errors about inline alignment
# W391: blank line at EOF. Of course you want a blank line there.
# F403: from foo import * is sometimes too useful$
ignore = E265,E127,E128,W391,F403
