braces fixed '#{' and '#}'

[v4vijayakumar]

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

def test():
#{
print "hello"
#}

That usage is obsolete.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

print is deprecated use print()

Yes, I also recently noticed the bug in python's parser that doesn't
let it handle squigly braces and the bug in the lexer that makes white
space significant. I'm surprised the dev's haven't noticed this yet.

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"

It's very dangerous to make a post like this without including the smiley.
You're likely to get a mailbox full of "helpful" corrections...
