Hi, Just a quick note to let you guys know that I'm the one who most recently revived the discussion on python-dev.
My needs are research and teaching in mathematics. So ideally, the programming notation should require only minimal explanations, and (equally importantly), it should be easy to set up your programming environment so that you can type your programs in. I like the PEP225 very much. I don't like @ operators because the @ is too large and I find it hard to read. ~ operators are fine (the dotted operators are fine too). I don't like unicode operators because they are hard to set up (I have no idea how), and also I'm wary of APL. Most of the unicode operators that were proposed on this list got rendered as indistinct blobs in my firefox. (Screenshot attached, I don't know if the mailing list will allow it -- if not, the picture is here: http://www.math.temple.edu/~loisel/unicode-operators.png) Sincerely, -- Sébastien Loisel
