I used to use perl -c programfile to check the syntax of a Perl program and then exit without executing it. Is there an equivalent way to do this for a Python script?

Python code checker tool Python error checker tool allows to find syntax errors (lint). You can test your Python code online directly in your browser. If a syntax error is detected, then the line in error is highlighted, and it jumps to it to save time (no need to search the line).
To view the source you can open a . py file with IDLE (which comes with Python) or even Notepad although a more advanced text editor or IDE is recommended. See Is there a good, free Python IDE for Windows for IDE recommendations by the stackoverflow community.
Since your script runs on windows, you can use the Microsoft Task Scheduler (which is installed with Windows) to start your Python script when your computer starts up. If you do not use the cmd window, you can change your Python script extention from . py to . pyw to run the script without a terminal window.
You can check the syntax by compiling it:
python -m py_compile script.py If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
