In MacVim, I save following code as test.py
print "Hello world! python2"
, which is apparently wrong with python3, but after I run :w to save the file, there is no error message for it, Following is a part of ~/.vimrc, which is all about Syntastic:
" Syntastic
"" Recommended settings
set statusline+=%#warningmsg#
set statusline+=%{SyntasticStatuslineFlag()}
set statusline+=%*
let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
"" Display checker-name for that error-message
let g:syntastic_aggregate_errors = 1
"" I use the brew to install flake8
let g:syntastic_python_checkers=['flake8', 'python3']
How to make Syntastic detect this type of error as I run test.py in Terminal:
NingGW:Desktop ninggw$ python3 test.py
File "test.py", line 1
print "Hello world! python2"
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
Following is what :SyntasticInfo said:

Pythons 2 and 3 have some incompatibilities and for a long time the convention was for hashbangs at the top of Python scripts to select 2 with #!/usr/bin/env python and 3 with #!/usr/bin/env python3.
Question did not say that python scripts are created by user: they may be third party scripts, and in that case we do not want to change all of theirs shebangs, especially if they are under some version control and our changes will get erased when we update the scripts. In such case we really do need to somehow temporarily set python2 as python.
instead of: What you could alternatively do is to replace the symbolic link "python" in /usr/bin which currently links to python3 with a link to the required python2/2.x executable. Then you could just call it as you would with python 3. There's really no use for a "default" Python.
In such case we really do need to somehow temporarily set python2 as python. Good example of this is nacl sdk from google, which causes problem on archlinux because it expects python to be python2. – Martinsos Apr 1 '15 at 14:50
flake8 is a Python package. It uses Python's built-in facilities to parse code, so it accepts syntax for the Python version that it belongs to.
How to install it for your python3 installation depends on how that installation itself was installed - unless you're fine with using pip.

From the FAQ:
4.11. Q. How can I check scripts written for different versions of Python?
A. Install a Python version manager such as virtualenv or pyenv, activate the environment for the relevant version of Python, and install in it the checkers you want to use. Set
g:syntastic_python_checkersaccordingly in yourvimrc, and run Vim from the virtual environment.If you're starting Vim from a desktop manager rather than from a terminal you might need to write wrapper scripts around your checkers, to activate the virtual environment before running the actual checks. Then you'll need to point the relevant
g:syntastic_python_<checker>_execvariables to the wrapper scripts.
