ps - I just realized that it isn't enough to do: python -c 'import /path/to/script'
since that actually executes any statement inside of the script (wheras all I want to do is check syntax) So - let me reprhase that - exactly how can you do a syntax check in python? Something like perl's -c: perl -c script_name.p Ed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
