Can I make Python interpret `{}` as `set()` instead of `dict()`?

Can I configure Python to interpret {} as a set() instead of a dict(), and if so, how can this be achieved to enhance code readability and functionality?

In Python, the curly braces {} are inherently used to define dictionaries, while sets are defined using the set() function or by using curly braces with elements inside, like {1, 2, 3}. Python does not provide a built-in way to change this behavior to make {} represent a set() instead of a dict().

However, you can use alternative approaches to enhance code readability and functionality:

1. Use set() for Empty Sets For creating an empty set, explicitly use set(). This makes it clear that you are defining a set.

2. Use Curly Braces for Non-Empty Sets When defining a set with elements, use curly braces with elements inside.

3. Custom Function for Sets You can define a custom function to create sets, which might improve readability in your code.

4. Code Comments for Clarity Add comments to clarify when you are using set(), especially in complex codebases.
