Evaluating following code block will not work. Note that the org table contains a Unicode character (ω):

#+name: input
| ω |

#+header: :var var=input
#+begin_src ipython :session :results output drawer
print(var)
#+end_src

See https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/issues/67 for more details and a fix for this issue.
