I guess I'm too boring, but I'm -1 on this. This would a nice-ish easter egg, but we'd have to revert for 3.15 and that opens up backward compatibility issues.

I agree with @ronaldoussoren. But, I still advocate for using pi easter egg for 3.14 release somewhere else.

+1 It doesn't need to be reverted. We check specifically for 3.14.

I have seen cute things like this break systems . I believe racket-lang had some birthday code trigger but then it broke the system on that day. Who knows what this would break and it seems too hard to test.

Still, someone might start using pythonπ in a shell script with 3.14 and then gets a broken script once upgrading to 3.15 because pythonπ doesn't exist there. That's not a very likely scenario, but still.

And yes, this would have to be reverted in 3.15 because otherwise we'd end up with dead code in the stdlib.

Unlike most easter eggs, this will be directly presented to users because it will appear in tab completion, so you will get questions about it. Users without Unicode fonts in their terminal will be extra confused. I don't think it is worth the support burden.
