I have taught Python as a first language for many years now and I have not seen the addition of brackets later (when they learn C or PHP for example) become a major problem.
Many of the students start experimenting with JavaScript while learning Python anyway, or have already done so, and it uses brackets too.
That is good to hear, thanks. We haven't gotten to Javascript yet, but you make a good point.
