The question is why π is accepted but ∇ is not. The immediate reason is that π is a letter while ∇ is not. But the question, then, is why bother excluding nonletters from identifiers. Personally, I don't think even π should be used in identifiers. Mathematicians and physicists have a questionable tradition of using single-character identifiers in their formulas. That shouldn't be transported to programming. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
