braces.py

braces.py is a library that allows using {} braces and ; for indentation.

Warning

There is a known limitation in braces.py. That is, indentation like this does NOT work:

def identity(value: T) -> T
{
    return value;
}

The said limitation was partially intentional, as it brings more problems than solutions in analysis.

Installing

Python 3.5 or higher is required

To install the library, you can just run the following command:

# Linux / OS X
python3 -m pip install --upgrade braces.py

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install --upgrade braces.py

In order to install the library from source, you can do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/nekitdev/braces.py
$ cd braces.py
$ python -m pip install --upgrade .

Quick example

Below is an example of identity function using braces style.

# coding: braces

from typing import TypeVar;

T = TypeVar("T");


def identity(some: T) -> T {
    return some;
}

This snippet gets translated to syntactically valid python code:

from typing import TypeVar

T = TypeVar("T")


def identity(some: T) -> T:
    return some
