Some minor remark:
the '~' is an awful character to type a 'azerty'-keyboard (Alt Gr + '='
on Belgian keyboard, '=' is located on '/'(qwerty)). Now, remember 
the reason Belgian and French people like Python is of the relative
absence of braces '{}', which are located on an even more
finger-breaking position (Alt-Gr + 9 and Alt-Gr + 0, again on 
Belgian keyboard).

We do have ç, à, é, è, ù and µ at very conveniant places. Perhaps 
you could localize the operators ?
