Éric Araujo added the comment: This may have been done on purpose, to allow nearly-valid Python files to be packaged. In other bug reports we got some use cases: files used as templates; custom dialects converted by import hooks; 2.x and 3.x code in the same sdist. In that light, I think distutils should not raise exceptions (to allow these use cases) but should log warnings (to help people catch legitimate errors).
