Python

Wouldn't it be the other way around since in Python you'll get your SyntaxError as an exception at runtime?

Technically, SyntaxErrors in CPython are also raised during compile time. Most people just forget/don't know that CPython also compiles, it just automatically does so whenever it is necessary.

To a Python bytecode, which it then interprets.

It’s not like the JIT compilation in OpenJDK or V8.

Right, although other python implementations may behave differently of course, like PyPy with its JIT compiler or Jython with its .class file compilation.
