Sometimes, I do get those errors. But if I take a working piece of python and stick in a sabotage statement like:
Var1 = var2 Where var2 is undefined (i.e. has never been assigned anything) Just silent failure. No error.

Referring to non-existent python variables (eg. the mistyping you described above) should raise a KeyError. Do you have any try/except statements in your external method which may be capturing the errors?
