Description nbphpuser 2009-09-29 21:50:12 UTC 
Hi,

def myFunc(p):
    if p
        pass
    else:
        pass

after "if p" should be colon, editor does not recognize it as syntax error
Comment 1 cdimauro 2009-10-02 09:24:50 UTC 
It's a general problem which applies to suits:

def myFunc(p):
    if p:
        pass
    else
        pass

def myFunc(p):
    try
        p
    except
        pass

No one signals a Syntax Error.

Its a serious issue for me

I don't think you meant to make this a "P5" -- P5 are least important. P1 are used for showstoppers (crashes tool) - P5
are for purely cosmetic minor issues.
