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

You can use pylint, pychecker, pyflakes etc. from Emacs' compile command (M-x compile).

Hint: bind a key (say, F5) to recompile.
