Adding Empty Set Literals to Python

    There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
    Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

Which is more Pythonic?

list() or []

dict() or {}

set() or ????

I would argue that the left is more pythonic and expressive.

Don't forget tuple() and ().

I don't think any are more pythonic. They are all valid python.
