    Imo is more intuitive the need of () in print,like is a function like any other, why would not use ()?

      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.
