It already has it but apparently there isn't a UI for enabling it.   
You can, however, do:

     defaults write com.gandreas.PyOXIDE IDEKit_TextAutoCloseKey 1

from the command line to enable it.

It only does (), [], and {}, and not any of the quote marks, since,  
especially for the single quote, it's used for things that don't make  
it "closable" (like twice in this  past sentence).  The double  
quotes, however, probably should...
