Sublime Linter Path issue can't find flake 8 (probably due to using Pyenv

Question

I installed Sublime Linter and the Sublime Linter Plugin Using Package Control and installed Flake8 using pip.

I am using pyenv to manage my Python installs.

When installing flake 8 I get this message:

WARNING: Value for scheme.headers does not match. Please report this to <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9617>

And the path is here:

➜  ~ which flake8
/Users/<user>/.pyenv/shims/flake8

How do I point SublimeLinter to the pyenv install of flake8?

You also need to install the sublimeLinter-flake8 plugin, and follow the installation instructions. The settings (available at Sublime Text → Preferences → Package Settings → SublimeLinter on Mac) are pretty self-explanatory. Customize your user settings to include flake8 and any options you want to send to it. Set the paths:osx key to "/Users/<user>/.pyenv/shims", and the linters:flake8:python setting to the full path to your python or python3 binary in your virtualenv. Make sure you read through all the settings carefully so you know exactly what you want to customize. Documentation is also available here.
