Python interpreter check and exit?

[mksql at my-deja.com]

Answered my own question (did not use the right search terms on my
first few attempts). Found a post with a Unix shell script that does
the job. Here is my DOS/Win .BAT version for any who are interested
(checks a single file):

@python -c "from py_compile import compile; compile('%1')"
