### Brace yourself!
|
||||
|
||||
If you are one of the people who don't like using whitespace in Python to denote scopes, you can use the C-style {} by importing,
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
from __future__ import braces
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
```py
|
||||
File "some_file.py", line 1
|
||||
from __future__ import braces
|
||||
SyntaxError: not a chance
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Braces? No way! You better use Javascript instead.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 💡 Explanation:
|
||||
+ The `__future__` module is normally used to provide features from future versions of Python. The "future" here is however ironic.
|
||||
+ This is an easter egg concerned with the community's feelings on this issue.

### Okay Python, Can you alter gravity?
|
||||
|
||||
Well, here you go
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
import antigravity
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
Sshh.. It's a super secret.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 💡 Explanation:
|
||||
+ `antigravity` module is another easter egg like `from __future__ import braces`, with a difference that it actually works.
|
||||
+ `import antigravity` opens up a web browser pointing to the [classic XKCD comic](http://xkcd.com/353/) about Python.
|
||||
+ Well, there's more to it. There's **another easter egg inside the easter egg**. If look at the [code](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/antigravity.py#L7-L17), there's a function defined that purports to implement the [XKCD's geohashing algorithm](https://xkcd.com/426/).

### `goto`, but why?
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
from goto import goto, label
|
||||
for i in range(9):
|
||||
for j in range(9):
|
||||
for k in range(9):
|
||||
print("I'm trapped, please rescue!")
|
||||
if k == 2:
|
||||
goto .breakout # breaking out from a deeply nested loop
|
||||
label .breakout
|
||||
print("Freedom!")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output (Python 2.3):**
|
||||
```py
|
||||
I'm trapped, please rescue!
|
||||
I'm trapped, please rescue!
|
||||
Freedom!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 💡 Explanation:
|
||||
- A working version of `goto` in Python was [announced](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2004-April/002982.html) as an April Fool's joke on 1st April 2004.
|
||||
- Current versions of Python do not have this module.
|
||||
- Although it works, but please don't use it. Here's the [reason](https://docs.python.org/3/faq/design.html#why-is-there-no-goto) to why `goto` is not present in Python.
