I'm puzzled as to when such a tool would be needed. How many syntax errors can
you realistically put into a single Python file before compiling it for the
first time?
I've been following the discussion from a distance and the whole time
I've been wondering the same thing. Especially when you have unit tests,
as Antoon said he has, I can't really imagine a situation where you add
so much code in one go without running it that you introduce a painful
amount of syntax errors.
My solution would be to use a modern IDE with a linter, possibly with
style warnings disabled, which will flag syntax errors as soon as you
type them. Possibly combined with a TDD-style tactic which also prevents
large amounts of errors (any errors) to build up. But I have the
impression that any of those doesn't fit in Antoon's workflow.
