The py_compile module can catch some obvious syntax errors, such as incorrect indentation levels or a missing colon at the end of an if statement. But it won't catch other errors such as using a variable name before it's defined. For that, you can use an external program such as pylint or pyflakes. -- John Gordon A is for Amy, who fell down the stairs [email protected] B is for Basil, assaulted by bears -- Edward Gorey, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
