I misread your question. No, Python eschews magic characters and symbols. They make code ugly and harder to read and maintain. The first 3 lines of the Zen of Python: Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. You might find a variable like that in Ruby, which has strong Perl influences.
