Yes and no. Syntax errors are detected when the script is compiled, so

You're right, except that Python is never compiled, it was just checked
for syntax error before interpreting code.
In the case of CPython, source code is compiled into byte-code before
it's interpreted. Part of that process is detecting syntax errors.
AFAIK, this is usually done a module at a time (convert an entire module
to byte-code, then start interpreting). It might be a little different
with functions such as eval and exec.
