Python Syntax Checker Tool
Beginner programmers often face difficulty identifying syntax errors in Python scripts. Manually finding such errors can be time-consuming and frustrating. A lightweight tool to check syntax without executing the code will help learners validate their scripts quickly.
Question:
How can we develop a Python tool that reads another Python script and identifies any syntax errors without running the program?
The tool checks a Python script for syntax errors using Python's built-in compile()
function, without executing the code.
- Accepts a Python file as input
- Reads file content using file handling
- Validates syntax using
compile()
- Catches errors with
try-except
- Displays clear error messages with line number
- File input through user prompt or upload
- Read and store script content
- Validate syntax using
compile()
- Catch syntax errors and display error message
- Show "No Errors" if the script is valid
