I should've realised that a syntax error would prevent the program from
running at all. However, a traceback does not. For example, if you run
the following code:
print "Hello world!"
print "Here comes a traceback when we try to divide by zero..."
print 20 / 0
You will see:
Hello world!
Here comes a traceback when we try to divide by zero...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "hello.py", line 3, in <module>
print 20 / 0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
You cannot divide a number by zero, so your program crashes and
generates a traceback. However, as you can see, the file is
syntactically correct, so the statements up to that point will run
without a problem. Apologies for the error!
