I'm having an issue with the way Maya relays python syntax errors back to me. If I have a python file that, let's say has bad syntax for a class definition, the only thing I get from Maya is "error." I would like to actually see where it had the error. Any advice?
On an unrelated note, is there a way to specify python to put it's .pyc files somewhere other than where the source is. A subdirectory in the source dir named bin would be sufficient.
Thanks!
