I'd suggest also that the question at hand be more global: Should Python be extended to allow non-ascii characters in syntax? Rather than one or two specific ones. ON a related note, another way to get "Nicer" multi-character operatores is lignatures. Jet BRains has put out a font with a pretty full set: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/#ligatures (you can use that font with most Editors / IDEs -- works great with Sublime, for instance) That way, it's still two ascii characters, but it looks like one nifty symbol in your editor. Maybe no need to complicate Python? ;-) -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
