I did not know about that webbrowser module. This will definitely come in handy for sure!

Try:

  import antigravity

and

  import braces

separately.

Actually it is

  from __future__ import braces

There is also:

  from __future__ import print_function

following which you can print output using the Python 3 print() function instead of the Python 2 print statement.

Note that all this is for Python 2.

That's cool! I didn't know about this one.

Also, just to make sure I understand the joke. It's basically just saying that they'll never add braces to the python syntax, right?

I mean, technically braces ARE part of Python syntax. They're used by sets and dictionaries.

But I know what you meant, and yeah...they'll never use braces as block delimiters. IMO, that's a good thing. Whitespace-as-syntax means you're FORCED to have a minimal level of decent code formatting or it doesn't work.

Oh yeah, thanks.

That also makes it more funny. :)

Don’t forget

    import this

Oh wow, yeah. The Zen of Python. Good reminder, thanks. Although some people think Python has strayed somewhat from that in recent years. Including me.
