    If you developed it to not have brackets for the first one or two decades. Especially if there’s no possible way to easily edit it. You’re a psychopath to not consider this.

    • That’s what major versions are for - breaking changes. Regardless, you should probably be able to fix this with some regex hackery. Something along the lines of

      new_file_content = re.sub(r'(?<=\bprint)(\s+)(?!\()', '(', old_file_content)
      new_file_content = re.sub(r'(print\(.*?)(\n|$)', r'\1)', new_file_content)
      

      should do the trick.
