disable "Quickfix list" in Syntastic

Question

I'm happily using the Syntastic plugin for vim. The "Quickfix list" at the bottom of the window (technically, it's another vim window) takes up space and I don't really use it. Disabling the quickfix list via

let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 0                                    
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 0 

in ~/.vimrc does not work. What options need to be set for disabling the quickfix list?

Answer 1

Creating an MWE takes some time, but almost always helps identifying the error. In this case, two packages did the syntax checking, namely

Bundle 'scrooloose/syntastic'                                                   
Bundle 'andviro/flake8-vim'

It was flake8-vim that introduced the quickfix list. Disabling it obviously fixes the problem.
