It's very dangerous to make a post like this without including the smiley.

braces fixed '#{' and '#}'

[v4vijayakumar]

I saw some code where someone is really managed to import braces from
__future__. ;)

def test():
#{
print hello
#}

This seems like the best workaround.  Hopefully python curly brace
support will be fixed soon. I think technically a language can't be
turing complete without curly braces right? That's definitely how I
read this:

If the negation of what Gödel has shown had been proved, i.e. if, for each U,
either U or –U is provable, then we should have an immediate solution of the
Entscheidungsproblem. As a corollary we also have that real
programmers use squigly braces and everyone else is nubs

That usage is obsolete.  Current best practice is:

def test():
{
   print hello
}

Which would be OK if it were syntactically valid ...

Doh.  I'm sorry:

def test():
{
print hello
}

This one I tested :-)
