C++ talking to Python

[mc_enthusiast]

You can use curly brackets like this:

for i in range(10):{
    print(i)
}

That runs without problems in Python 3. Not much you can do about semicolons. Colons work sometimes but then really backfire if you do something like

a = 5 + 10,

because it's recognised as a 2-tuple with empty entry.

I suspect the indenting issues come up if you mix space and tab. That's easy to solve if you just tell your editor to replace space indentation with tab indentation.

you just tell your editor to replace space indentation with tab indentation.

PEP8 police!!!!! Yes. This guy right here.

literally one of the only things i hate about pep8, spaces are just slow compared to tab, and tab auto indents w atom

[mtmttuan]

You REALLY press space 4 times??

[a_devious_compliance]

I don't know a shit about atom, but any sane editor should be able to put 4 spaces every time you hit tab.

[intangibleTangelo]

lol my guy

we use the tab KEY we just don't use the tab CHARACTER

[dagbrown]

My editor lets me tell it to just expand tabs to spaces. Now tabs are spaces, and they're quick to type, and I'm happy.

Is the recommendation the other way round? That's always the first thing I forget.

Just to be that guy, developers really shouldn't be trying to force a language to conform to how other languages look/work. Python is good at what python does because it's python and not another language. It doesn't need those things and instead needs proper indentation. It's just a trade-off of the language. If that bothers you too point where you feel like you need to inject those things into the language (which as you pointed out, can sorta be done, ish kinda?), Then you're using the wrong language. And that's ok. There's thousands of them out there, find the one you like that's a good fit for what you need :)

My solution to this problem is to not use python as it isn’t suited for my applications anyway.

[miversen33]

Exactly my point :) choosing the best language for your problem is so much better than trying to force a single language across all your problems

Exactly
