Hi,
What you are think about adding Unicode aliases for some mathematic
names in the math module? ;-)
math.π = math.pi
math.τ = math.tau
math.Γ = math.gamma
math.ℯ = math.e
Unfortunately we can't use ∞, ∑ and √ as identifiers. :-(
It may be the role of editors to do it if one really want it. I personally use
the `pretty-mode` emacs mode, it replaces pi, sum, sqrt, None (∅), tau, gamma,
but not math.e obviously. It replaces some other strings like lambda (λ x:
...), and is customizable (I added ∈ ∉ for "in" and "not in").
It only "messes" with visual numbers of characters in a line, but flake8 sees
the correct python thrue flycheck so it reports errors properly, and you're
still notified you're more than 80 columns long, even if visually there may be
a longer valid line.
Oh and it's also messing with copying and pasting to share, found myself
yesterday pasting a "prettyfied" line of code on IRC and it (legitimately)
surprised someone.
