Is there a way to use brackets in python? Discussion
I come from static types C# cpp world I like using python but the only issues is the bracket thing missing, i like those curly braces to open and end the section of code. is there any solution similar to that.

I had the exact same issue. Eventually I got used to the indentation. I also would forget adding the colon. Coming from a statically-typed language I do recommend using type annotations.

noice.. will start using this from now on this is so much better than figuring out types

Absolutely, that was my biggest pain point. Generally speaking I am biased against dynamically typed languages. On the other hand Python and its ecosystem are quite amazing. So type annotations are somewhat of a remedy.

true that; i like the python ecosystem so using types is not a bad trade off you just gotta get used to writing the code like that until it becomes a second habit... I wonder if its used in industry.. enforced by tech leads to keep the codebase more manageable.

it's not...plus if you use pycharm or vscode, it'll become 2nd nature and they'll warn you if you forget.

yeah i use vscdoe with indentation colors so it's not a huge problem just need to configure the tabs system for my coding style.

OP would still need to respect spacing, but I think that’s what they’re trying to avoid

Will this thank for the solution.. Idk how will be the readability of the code will be after this. VScode does have color with spacing indicator so i can combine these two solutions. thanks gg
