How can I check the syntax of Python code in Emacs without actually executing it?

Question

Python\'s IDLE has \'Check Module\' (Alt-X) to check the syntax which can be called without needing to run the code. Is there an equivalent way to do this in Emacs instead of ru

Answer 1

Or from emacs (or vim) you could run python -c 'import x' where x is the name of your file minus the .py extension.
