Duh! Sorry, I somehow failed to see "python-mode" in your original
bug report. So yes, you're trying to prettify subparts of identifiers,
and prettify-symbols-mode currently provides no support at all for that.

Exactly.
for _x and **2, I think prettify-symbols-mode is probably not a good
solution anyway (because it won't extend to _xy or to **24). You'd be
better off with a font-lock rule which just shifts the text up/down (you
might like to look at the way we do just that in text-mode.el), which
can work with any sequence of character rather than being limited to
those few characters which have a "superscript" form in Unicode.
But w.r.t "delta" in "delta_x" it would make a lot of sense for
prettify-symbols-mode to provide support for that.
