When switching to sublime version 3, note that the linter plugin has been rewritten and requires a few more steps:
The sublimelinter package is just a framework, and the linters must be installed separately. For python:

• pep8: for formating
  
• pyflakes for unused variables
  
• pep257 for docstrings
  

The modules must also be installed via a terminal window. Use "pip install <pep8|pyflakes|pep357>"

Sublime is a text editing software with excellent code highlighting, a nice overview, advanced functions for replacing text (both ordinary and regular expressions) and there are a lot of plugins available.

My steps in customizing usually goes like this:

• Preferences: Changing the color scheme to "twilight"
  
• View: Set line endings to "linux" (under view)
  
• View: Add the wrapping ruler at 80 characters
  
• Color theme: carlcalderon and theme soda-theme
  
• Preferences: Settings - User: Add the rule

  {
  	"auto_complete": false,
  	"close_windows_when_empty": false,
  	"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Schemes by carlcalderon/Tyrann/Tyrann.tmTheme",
  	"dictionary": "Packages/Language - English/en_US.dic",
  	"draw_white_space": "all",
  	"ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save": false,
  	"find_selected_text": true,
  	"font_face": "Ubuntu Mono",
  	"font_options":
  	[
  		"subpixel_antialias"
  	],
  	"font_size": 12,
  	"highlight_line": true,
  	"ignored_packages":
  	[
  		"Vintage"
  	],
  	"ignored_words":
  	[
  		"Attr1",
  		"Attr2",
  		"attr1",
  		"attr2",
  		"bluetooth",
  		"txt"
  	],
  	"rulers":
  	[
  		72,
  		79
  	],
  	"spell_check": true,
  	"theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme",
  	"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true
  }

  (requires restart of sublime)
  
• Add package control by entering the code shown in sublime console. The console should be accessible with ctrl+` (on my MAC "CTRL" + "ALT" + "`"), but if that does not work you can find it in the menu view: show console. If successful you'll be asked to restart sublime. Now access it with ctrl+shift+p. Write and open Package Control: Install Package to get to where you can add more plugins.
  
• Add the plugin sublimelinter. It will highlight syntax errors.

  I like to remove a few warnings in the preferences: package settings: sublimelinter: settings - user:
  

  {
  "pep8_ignore":
  	[
  		"W191",
  		"E501"
  	]
  }
