The syntax to define a class looks like this:

class MyClass:
    pass

Nice and neat.

***
And the syntax to define a function looks like this:

def my_function():
    pass

Hmmm...

***
What if we could define functions (that don't have any parameters) like this:

def my_function:
    pass

***
Is that a possible scenario at this point, or even desirable?

The python-ideas mailing list is a better place for such questions than the bug tracker.

Closing as this would obviously need a PEP, please open a discusion first on python-ideas
