Why does python 3 use parentheses?
The Show Is there anyway to suppress these parenthesis in Python 3? Maybe by re-defining the print function? So, instead of
I could type:

9 Although you need a pair of parentheses to print in Python 3, you no longer need a space after If you still find typing a single pair of parentheses to be "unnecessarily time-consuming," you can do Python 2:

That will make alt-p put out print() and move your cursor to inside the parens. Or, even better, to directly solve your problem, you define an autoreplace and limit its scope to when the open file has the .py extension:

No. That will always be a syntax error in Python 3. Consider using answered Aug 20, 2015 at 15:56

I finally figured out the regex to change these all in old Python2 example scripts. Otherwise use 2to3.py. Try it out on Regexr.com, doesn't work in NP++(?):

for label and variable:

You can't manually define a keyword, so no. answered Aug 20, 2015 at 15:57 In Python 3, print is a function, whereas it used to be a statement in previous versions. As @holdenweb suggested, use 2to3 to translate your code. answered Aug 20, 2015 at 15:59
I have configured vim to auto-add the parens around my debug def calls when I write the file. I use a simple watcher that auto-runs my updates when the timestamp changes. And I defined CTRL+p to delete
them all. The only caveat is that I have to have them alone on a line, which I pretty much always do. I thought about trying to save and restore my previous search-highlight. And I did find a solution on Stack. But it looked a little too deep for now. Now I can finally get back to debugging Ruby-style with a quick
I use these Python defs to do my debug printing.

Why does Python use parentheses?Broadly speaking, the primary use of parentheses in Python is to call an object. That is the reason why standard parentheses are sometimes called the "call operator." Aside from their main use, parentheses are also used to define generator expressions.
How do you print without parentheses in Python 3?There's no way in Python 3 to print without parentheses. However, you can print with parentheses in Python 2 by adding the line “ from __future__import print_function ” to the top of your code snippet.
What do the brackets mean in Python?Index brackets ([]) have many uses in Python. First, they are used to define "list literals," allowing you to declare a list and its contents in your program. Index brackets are also used to write expressions that evaluate to a single item within a list, or a single character in a string.
Why do we use square brackets in Python?The indexing operator (Python uses square brackets to enclose the index) selects a single character from a string. The characters are accessed by their position or index value.
