Can't get “Syntastic” vim plugin to work

Question

I\'ve installed Syntastic plugin in vim. I can\'t get it to work. I\'ve tried :SyntasticEnable but no luck. SyntasticEnable python in my vimrc doesn\'t work either

Have you tried to make sure Vim has the right value set for $PATH?

:echo $PATH

If not, try putting this in your .vimrc:

let $PATH=substitute(system("echo \$PATH"), "\r\*\n", "", "g")

Then shutdown and restart vim. If it works, you won't have to manually update the plugin's source files to manually include the path to the executables.
