Usually one can enable flymake mode in the python-mode-hook. Unfortunately that causes issues with things like py-execute-buffer which create temporary buffers which invoke the hook and then cause flymake mode to hiccup because of the lack of "real file". The solution is to modify the conditions where you add the hook:- e.g mine is:

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 
      (lambda () 
        (unless (eq buffer-file-name nil) (flymake-mode 1)) ;dont invoke flymake on temporary buffers for the interpreter
        (local-set-key [f2] 'flymake-goto-prev-error)
        (local-set-key [f3] 'flymake-goto-next-error)
        ))
