[Tutor] Is there python editor or plugin for a python editor for curly brackets around code blocks?

[xbmuncher]

I don't see what the big deal is on coming up with the .{ #{, and other
bracket types to try to not interfere with normal bracket use in python. Its
relatively easy to create a parser to identify the brackets in use normally
and the code block brackets, with regex or without.
