OK, You might want to use a "linter" in that case because most tools use the interpreter itself to flag syntax errors. > but the use of single quotes vs double quotes! > NOT what I need from the 'checker', you dig? Not really. What is the problem. Use of single versus double quotes is straightforward - use one or the other and make sure they match(opening and closing) You can nest one type inside the other if you need literal quotes. And of course the same applies to triple quotes except you can include newlines inside those. What kind of problems are you experiencing with quotes? If we have some specific examples we can give specific answers. > "stones" for bull, how do I set up the kind of "checking" I want? That's not a phrase with which I'm familiar but my guess is you need to install a linter tool and then, possibly configure it to flag or hide particular error/warning types to your personal taste. Each tool is different so you will need to read the docs on how to configure it (and how to plumb it into your IDE). Personally I've never felt the need for any stricter error checking than the interpreter provides so I can't offer anything beyond the generic suggestion to use a linter. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
