Éric Araujo added the comment: We all agree Python files with invalid syntax should be allowed, but some error message should be logged. From the py_compile docs, this is already what the compile function does if the doraise argument is false (default), so what’s needed here is a unit test that makes sure we get a warning and the bad file is included in the sdist.
(I think we should not be concerned by the direct print to stderr instead of using proper logging: distutils uses its own logging system which lets one control the verbosity but does not have flexible filters, handlers and configuration, so in effect it’s like print to stderr.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7918> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
