Unless I've read something wrong, it looks like the final Python 2 release (2.7.18) should approximate the math constant e:
>>> import math >>> math.e 2.718281828459045
Aka:
Python as 𝑣 → 𝑒 Python ≈ 𝑒
Would be fun to note that in the announcement/docs somehow.
Of note, metafont already has the distinction of being versioned after the digits of e, just like TeX is versioned after the digits of pi.
