Paste in the following:

{
    "sublimelinter_delay": 0.5,
    "pep8_ignore":
    [
        "W293",
        "E501",
        "E203",
        "E303",
        "E225",
        "E261",
        "E251",
        "E401",
        "E301",
        "E302",
        "W291",
        "W391"
    ]
}

Other packages I install: SublimeCodeIntel, Pretty JSON

(your PEP8 ignore preferences may vary)

@simonw I seem to recall you like your intra-block blank lines indented like I do. Do you know a way to get Sublime to flag true "trailing" whitespace but not flag indented intra-block blank lines?

Unfortunately I don't - I've had to drop that particular preference for compatibility with co-workers

I find the trailing spaces plugin very helpful for Python coding: https://github.com/SublimeText/TrailingSpaces
