thanks, bu what exactly do you find unlikeable in this syntax? the ")" is no new syntax, but simply a match for a previous "("; and you can put it anywhere because the "(" contents are space-insensitive: 
  
this would be a syntax error: 
a = def(): 
   print("gvr") 

this too: 
a = def(): 
  print("anon") 

but not this: 
a = (def(): 
   print("no") 
) 

neither this: 
a = (def(): 
   print("d")) 

nor this: 
a = (def(): 
    print( "no" ) 


) 

we're all grown-ups, aren't we? if we wanted to mess the syntax up then "(" alone would have let us do obscene things like:

if (a
==
 b): gvr()

or

a =(1, 2
  5



    )

and we also could fiddle with an instance's (or class's) intendedly private members (no pun) but 

did we ever do?

yours truly would be glad to know your thoughts on this
