Launching Sublime Text from virtualenv

Question

I'm trying out Sublime Text 2 and have installed Package Control. Now from Package Control in the Command Pallete I'm trying to install PyLint. However, this alert message pops up and am not sure how to proceed:

Pylinter could not automatically determined the path to lint.py.

Please provide one in the settings file using the pylint_path variable.

NOTE: If you are using a Virtualenv, the problem might be resolved by launching Sublime Text from correct Virtualenv.

I am using a virtualenv in my project and am not sure what it means to launch Sublime Test from the virtualenv. Any help is appreciated - thanks!

UPDATE

I think I may need to configure something with build_system variable in the *.sublime_project file to get the virtualenv working. There appears to be a range of somewhat confusing advice in this SO question.

Answer 1

If you have installed pylint into your virtualenv, editing the project-file like this should fix it

"settings":
    {
        "pylinter":
        {
             "python_bin": "path/to/your/virtualenv"
        }
    }
