Oh fuck off. years of code that cannot be easily redone in ANY editor. Whoever OCDd that into python 3 needs to have their asshole kicked up into their mouth.
If you developed it to not have brackets for the first one or two decades. Especially if there’s no possible way to easily edit it. You’re a psychopath to not consider this.
That’s what major versions are for - breaking changes. Regardless, you should probably be able to fix this with some regex hackery. Something along the lines of
“Print needs ()”

Imo is more intuitive the need of () in print,like is a function like any other, why would not use ()?

new_file_content = re.sub(r'(?<=\bprint)(\s+)(?!\()', '(', old_file_content) new_file_content = re.sub(r'(print\(.*?)(\n|$)', r'\1)', new_file_content)should do the trick.
Meanwhile Nim:
echo "I am still worthy"let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " & "multiline statements"for x in 0..9: if x == 6: echo x echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles) assert true - 1 # see aboveThanks for coming to my Ted-talk.
