Hi,

your script does not contain a syntax error.
You are calling a non-existent method, but this would not be detected until 
runtime.

So the code compiles well and will cause a runtime error (probably 
NameError excpetion).

If you want try your code for handling syntax errors in scripts, you can 
for example omit the parentheses for the function definition (or add a 
second pair like so: def test()():

This should return an error at compile time.
