Mathematicians also have a tendency to use single letter variables and often escape into non-ASCII character sets as well. <wink> Perhaps it's worth pointing out that pylint complains about most/many infix operations if you don't surround the operator with white space. And, complex expressions work just fine with white space around the operator: >>> 1 + 2j (1+2j) Personally, I'm agnostic to the proposed change. I don't use complex numbers in my work, and I suspect that creating complex numbers from strings is an extremely small corner case. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
