Hey thanks for posting this, I wasn't aware that this is possible! I really like the fact that you are able to do this if required. (If your problem domain and hence the target audience is a group of people where a certain set of symbols have a well established conventional set of meanings [and hence will be quite readable to them] then I think it's quite sensible to just use the conventional lingo, incl. symbols when suitable, so as I say, I really like the fact that Python can support the above directly. ) Thanks again for posting!
