Looks ugly here (both Google groups and emacs)
But I think you meant small pi not capital. Redoing:

π = pi
>>> sin(π/4)
0.7071067811865475
>>> cos(π/4)
0.7071067811865476

Looks better in emacs
Input with tex mode -- 1 char to switch
slightly verbose to type -- \pi gives π \Pi gives Π
Now to check GG...
