Recently I was been bitten by some stupid errors in my code, and I'm
wondering if there's a simple way to catch them.
One error was of the form:
my_object.some_function()
.. when I hadn't declared an object named "my_object".
The other error was similar:
x = my_module.CONSTANT
.. when I hadn't imported my_module.
Of course both of these errors were deep inside a long-running function
call, so it took a while for them to crop up.
Is there an automated way to catch errors like these? I'm using the
compileall module to build my program and it does catch some errors
such as incorrect indentation, but not errors like the above.
