Find more than one error at once

[Joseph Turian]

Is it possible to coax python to find more than one error at once?

Thanks,

Sounds like you want to catch and log exceptions.

What kind of errors? Syntax-errors? Then use one of the python source
code analyzers, such as pylint or pychecker.

I don't know about pylint, but "PyChecker works in a combination of
ways. First, it imports each module. If there is an import error, the
module cannot be processed." -- so it fails on the first syntax error.
For example:

C:\junk>type syntaxerrors.py
if foo = bar:
pass
foo = "unterminated
123 = foo

C:\junk>python -m pychecker.checker syntaxerrors.py
Processing syntaxerrors...
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (syntaxerrors.py, line 1)
if foo = bar:
^

Warnings...

syntaxerrors:1: NOT PROCESSED UNABLE TO IMPORT

C:\junk>
