Solution 1:

This is now configured globally in ~/.config/flake8 in linux and ~/.flake in windows. The file can look like this.

[flake8]max-line-length = 120

Have a look at their documentation for per project settings: http://flake8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/configuration.html#project-configuration

Solution 2:

You can pass additional arguments to each linter. For pylint, you can use:

let g:syntastic_python_pylint_post_args="--max-line-length=120"

Solution 3:

I would just recommend you disable the length checking by adding this line to your .vimrc dot file:

let g:pymode_lint_ignore = "E501,W"

Solution 4:

There is a file named - defaults.py inside your virtual environment folder - ......./lib/python3.6/site-packages/flake8

You can change the value of max-line-length in that file.
