Ycmd will not provide any diagnostics for Python (right now, at least) so using it for flycheck is not terribly useful. It might be best to disable `flycheck-ycmd` in `python-mode` by default. You can do this e.g. with [`flycheck-disabled-checkers`](https://github.com/abingham/emacs-ycmd/tree/b801275e0cc9e0a70d78c61e3fb8ed6b3bbb0c93#disabling-ycmd-based-flycheck-for-specific-modes). \r\n\r\nAlso see [this ycmd issue](https://github.com/Valloric/ycmd/issues/267) for further confirmation of ycmd's lack of Python diagnostic support."}}
