Odd error running a script from a button

I figured this out, but I am posting this here in case anyone else runs across it.

I has a comment in one of my scripts in which I had accidentally used a single ). Running that script from the editor was fine, but when I put the script in a button I got the following error message:

I suspect that, despite the fact that it is inside a comment line, that the ) is being interpreted as the end of the script

i.e. normally for a toolbar button the arrangement is this:

NoEcho _-RunPythonScript (
<script here>
)

The last ) completes the encapsulation of the script. As soon as I removed the ) from the comment, the error disappeared. If I added an open parentheses in front (), it also ran OK.

Anyway, I don’t know if this is expected, but in case anyone wants to try, here is a simple test script:

mystr="This is a test"
if mystr:
    #I accidentally have only a close parentheses ) in my comment
    print(mystr)

If you run that from a button, it will error out.
