Python is a formal language with a well-defined syntax and reasonably well-understood semantics. That's all that matters. Any resemblance to the much more ad-hoc syntax of classical mathematics is almost coincidental. Instead of fighting the crystal-clear status of the = symbol in Python, you should choose a worthier crusade. For example, you could help mathematicians and physicists agree on the meaning of 6 3 ∫ ∫ f(x, y) dy dx 0 2 The mathematicians maintain the expression means x ranges from 0 to 6 and y from 2 to 3. The physicists consider that too confusing in practice and insist it is y that ranges from 0 to 6 and x from x to 3. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
