copy into a word document. select all the {}; and set their colour to white. ur welcome
Personally I wouldn’t abuse a language like that. If you want to write Python, write Python. Don’t pretend some other language is Python, because it isn’t. The braces need to be in the “correct” place, i.e. { at the end of a line or on a line on its own, and } on its own line, with both braces indented correctly for the code they contain. Braces are important visual and logical indicators in C-like languages and are critical in understanding the flow of the code.
That said, if this is some silly little noddy program that only you will ever see then you can write it however you want. Don’t expect to be taken seriously as a competent dev though if this is going to be part of your public profile.
If this offends your sensibilities then I can’t wait until you look at what someone did to C:

Just show them the IOCCC why don’t you?
For a moment I wondered why the Rust code was so much more readable than I remembered.
This would make a nice VS Codium plugin to deal with all the visual clutter. I actually like this.
I wish I could do this with every IDE. Get rid of all the semicolons and most curly braces and replace them with structural whitespace. You could even save the files with the punctuation and compile that to whitespace when editing.
You people are insane. Languages with meaningful whitespace are my personal hell. Don’t you value being able to space/tab/newline as you please?
Why aren’t “alternate syntaxes” a thing? You can pretty easily just write code to convert between C-like and Python-like syntax. Why aren’t there IDE extensions that let you write in python syntax and automatically commit the standard syntax.
That was exactly what the .NET family of languages was back in the day. Still is, I guess? You could write in VB, C#, or F#, make use of the same standard library and general principles, but then it would all get compiled to the same IL code in the end.
