Linting not working

[stevenh]

I installed with Package control and it all seems to install correctly but linting fails.

The console with debug enabled shows:

[Flake8Lint DEBUG] update statusbar
[Flake8Lint DEBUG] run flake8 lint

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Looks like its looking for a python interpreter but the install docs don't mention any requirement on this, did I miss something?

[stevenh]

Installing python for windows solved the issue, but still odd that its not mentioned as a requirement especially as it seems to be able to run python code otherwise it wouldn't have got that far.
