Hi, How about supporting n! as a shortcut for factorial(n)? This syntax is very convenient and makes a huge difference for combinatorial expressions with many factorials. M&M (Maple & Mathematica) allow this notation, as do many scientific calculators.
Although Python doesn't have any other postfix operators, I don't think there's any ambiguity as ! is unused in Python except for the != operator. The worst I can come up with is x!=y, but given that = denotes assignment and not equality, this still only has one possible meaning.
