VS Code Syntax Buddy extension

This tool is for intelligent syntax correction of Python code and helps you write cleaner code with fewer errors.

Features

SyntaxBuddy offers the following features:

Automatically adds missing colons (:) to control structures and function/class definitions.
Inserts empty parentheses () for conditions that lack them and have no arguments.
Fixes incomplete def statements (e.g., def my_func → def my_func(): ).
Adds pass to blocks with no body ( empty if, def, class).
Selectively fixes only the highlighted section of code.
Supports folder-wide fixing for all .py files.
Undo functionality to revert the last fix.
Full support for Python keywords: if, elif, else, for, while, def, class, try, except, finally, with, async def, match, case, async for, async with.
