Hi Serhiy, > math.π is a kind of joke too.
The point is that tau, being a joke, should not be considered as setting a precedent. > Honest, it is strange, that Python allows Unicode identifiers, but doesn't > have the one in its stdlib! Actually it is policy: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3131/#policy-specification """ Policy Specification As an addition to the Python Coding style, the following policy is prescribed: All identifiers in the Python standard library MUST use ASCII-only identifiers, and SHOULD use English words wherever feasible (in many cases, abbreviations and technical terms are used which aren't English). In addition, string literals and comments must also be in ASCII. The only exceptions are (a) test cases testing the non-ASCII features, and (b) names of authors. Authors whose names are not based on the Latin alphabet MUST provide a Latin transliteration of their names.
