If someone wants to debug a Chinese program, he has in almost all cases 
obviously already installed the correct fonts and his machine can handle 
unicode.

Maybe yours and mine not, but I doubt that we are going to debug a 
chinese program.

I have debugged German programs (not python) with unicode characters in 
it for years and had no problem at all, because all customers and me 
have obviously German machines.
