Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I agree that the proposal as written should be rejected. I am inclined to think this issue should be closed.
I do not understand the claim about 'python -m py_compile'. For me, this does nothing, as I would expect from reading the code. If args = sys.arg[1:] is empty, the else clause for loop immediately quits. Syntax checking is easily done with compile; that is how IDLE does it. python -c "compile(open(<filename>).read(), '', 'exec'). should do what Pavel tried to do, except for getting a SyntaxError instead of py_compile.PyCompileError. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25303> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
