Is it possible to change the python version used by syntastic for syntax checking?

As the Issue https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic/issues/385 indicates I could use virtual-env. But is it also possible just with syntastic or vim commands?

Easiest solution:

Add this to you .vimrc

 let g:syntastic_python_python_exec = 'python3'
 let g:syntastic_python_checkers = ['python']

This is the straightforward solution to switch to python3.
