I'm +1 on the idea but -1 on the proposed syntax. Yes it would be kind of nice *but* it's not how Python arithmetic or grammar works. And why should Python have that functionality? AFAICT Python doesn't have a module in stdlib for symbolic math. This looks like a feature request to third party modules that support symbolic math like sympy. People usually doesn't use symbolic math in Python but those who do know the drawbacks and have already come up with hacks to overcome those. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/NBBNTKTXTUXR2CQEQ5JQ3G3X2NICPLXA/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
