How to move past a closing parenthesis in insert mode

Question

so I've been learning vim the past few weeks and am having trouble with defining functions and the such.

e.g. every time I define I function in python I write:

typing in insert mode: def foo<cursor>

open parenthesis: def foo(<cursor>) - note that a closing parenthesis will be added automatically

add arguments: def foo(arg1, arg2<cursor>)

then I would have to <ESC>, l, a to go into normal mode, move outside the closing paren, then append to add text, namely the colon and function definition.

Is there a faster way to do this? This process seems so tedious to me.

(Trying to keep answers out of comments and in answers):

Most auto-pair-style plugins let you type the closing bracket to “skip over” the automagically-inserted bracket.
