**Please add curly brackets to the python language just like Java. If not that at least have editors like python highlight the indeting of classes and methods and put class or method label within the highlighting so the developer knows where they are. **

Have you tried doing:
from __future__ import braces

This will definitely not happen. Please see:
In short: this idea was preemptively rejected when Python was created. It is approximately as far away from the intended design of Python as a feature could possibly get.
I don’t understand what you mean by “highlight the indenting”. For example, do you want the background colour of the whitespace to change, according to what kind of block it is? There are probably editors that can do this. But if not, it simply isn’t an idea that can be dealt with here. Instead, you should suggest it to the people who make those editors. (After first checking if someone has implemented a plugin or other technique for it, of course.)
IDLE highlights def funcname and class classname with user-selected colors. Other IDEs do similarly.
In vscode, you can use extensions that highlight the indentation by blocks. For example, this one. In other editors there is possibly similar ways to make blocks more visually clear.
As others have shown, braces will not happen, although a google might show old projects to attempt to transform python-hobbled-by-braces to Python.
Various IDE’s have methods to help you navigate your code, which have you tried?
VsCode, for example gives help - I just found this article on its code navigation.
I appreciate your sentiment. As much as I’d also like that, it will never happen. You have real guts for requesting it, though!
The ideal scenario would be Python with curly braces and mixedCase variables would be widely accepted.
