[Python-ideas] π = math.pi

[Stephan Houben]

Or perhaps create a small module:

============unimath.py==============
import math

__all__ = ["π", "τ", "Γ"]

π = math.pi
τ = math.tau
Γ = math.gamma
====================================

Then do:
from unimath import *

Put it on the Python Package index.
If it gets wildly popular the case for putting it in `math` will be
greatly strengthened.
