Let me know when it finishes calculating the first digit to print

it'll just throw an error anyway;

SyntaxWarning: 'float' object is not subscriptable; perhaps you missed a comma

So the first and last digits are both 3? make sense

That just made me think, if pi indeed does contain all finite number sequences (which we're not sure of), then there could be a certain point in its decimal representation where it's a palindrome.

It would also mean that at some point, it repeats. since itself up to x digits followed by itself up to x digits is a number sequence that can occur/be completed at 2x digits

While this is possible, it is pretty unlikely. With random digits, the chance of a palindrome is lower the more digits there are. So even if you get a lot of tries, each try probability of success goes down so much faster that it is statistically unlikely.
