| Python 3 allows for unicode identifiers, but I don'k know any plans for
| using unicode keywords too. Looks funny:

There are no official (PSF) plans and I expect there will be not be any for 
a long time if ever.  My 'suspicion' was with respect to very unofficial 
3rd party efforts, perhaps not even announced here in English/ascii land. 
My reasoning:  If one is writing in ascii only, then ascii keywords and 
even English keywords are not so much a burden. But if one is writing 
comments and strings and identifiers in a different alphabet, then ascii 
begin to look odd and native character keywords more inviting.
