PEP 3131: Supporting Non-ASCII Identifiers

[Neil Hodgson]

Martin v. Löwis:

> This PEP suggests to support non-ASCII letters (such as accented
> characters, Cyrillic, Greek, Kanji, etc.) in Python identifiers.

    I support this to ease integration with other languages and 
platforms that allow non-ASCII letters to be used in identifiers. Python 
has a strong heritage as a glue language and this has been enabled by 
adapting to the features of various environments rather than trying to 
assert a Pythonic view of how things should work.
