Thanks Danny.
I'll make sure I use pychecker so I don't shoot myself in the foot with not so easy to catch typos in variable names and syntax blunders.
I might check with the pychecker devs to see if there's any effort to get it put into the standard distribution. I think it's too handy to not have it in the standard distribution.

In Perl, you can perl -c somehardtoreadperlprogram.pl that will just check the syntax. The above problem would have been caught in Perl since I always use strict. Is there a command line option in Python to do a Pychecker-like syntax check?
Hi Mike,
Unfortunately, no, because there are some really funky things that one can do in Python that you can't do easily in Perl.
Yikes. I should correct myself before I get someone angry at me. You can do this sort of late-binding stuff in Perl too, and in many other languages. (Java's reflection mechanism is another kind of late-binding mechanism, for example.)
But Python makes it extraordinarly easy --- perhaps too much so. *grin*
