Setting pylintrc path in pylinter for Sublime Text - sublimetext2

Question

I've got Sublime Text 2 (+ the pylinter package) and pylint installed, but can't get the pylint_path setting to work; my Pylinter.sublime-settings file looks like:
{
"verbose":true,
"message_stay": true,
"pylint_path": "Z:\\python\\pylintrc"
}
but when I run pylint I get the following output:
- PyLinter: Verbose is True
- PyLinter: Running Pylinter on Z:\TestProject\test.py
- PyLinter: Current PYTHONPATH is ''
- PyLinter: Updated PYTHONPATH is ''
- PyLinter: Running command with Pylint (1, 4, 1)
- PyLinter: python Z:\python\pylintrc --reports=n --msg-template={path}:{line}:{msg_id}:{msg} --disable=C0303 Z:\TestProject\test.py
error: Fatal pylint error:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
- PyLinter: No errors found
but I've put errors in to prove to myself it works (or doesn't..)! If I remove the pylint_path setting, it works and the errors do get reported. (For completion, I've tried Z:/TestProject/test.py and Z:\TestProject\test.py too, and get the same result each time)

This was asked a long time ago, but I just stumbled across it from google.
You want to set pylint_rc instead of pylint_path.
From the default settings:
// Full path to the lint.py module in the pylint package
"pylint_path": null,
// Optional full path to a Pylint configuration file
"pylint_rc": null,
