==============
This PEP is now accepted and math.tau will be a part of Python 3.6.
Happy birtday Nick!
Happy birthday Nick!
PEP Deferral
============
The idea in this PEP was first proposed in the auspiciously named
`issue 12345`_. The immediate negative reactions I received from other core
developers on that issue made it clear to me that there wasn't likely to be
much collective interest in being part of a movement towards greater clarity
in the explanation of profound mathematical concepts that are unnecessarily
obscured by a historical quirk of notation.
Accordingly, this PEP is being submitted in a Deferred state, in the hope
that it may someday be revisited if the mathematical and educational
establishment choose to adopt a more enlightened and informative notation
for dealing with radians.
Converts to the merits of ``tau`` as the more fundamental circle constant
should feel free to start their mathematical code with ``tau = 2 * math.pi``.
The idea in this PEP has been implemented in the auspiciously named
`issue 12345`_.
