Comment:

 I'm still working on revisions with the author of the PR.

 But I have a question for Nick:
 Does this change belong in 0.4.3 or 0.4.4?

 I think catching python syntax errors is a good idea.

 And this change could enforce python 3 compatibility in all our scripts,
 if we change the python version to a recent python 3. (But I think we
 should do that in a separate ticket, in case there are any errors we need
 to fix.)
