I want to use unicode varible names, i. e. non-english letters in variable
names.
This will work fine in python 1.6 if I define them at runtime, using
mainpulations of the __dict__ dictionary, Where the names are strings.
Qestions:
1) Will future python accept unicode variables in source code?
2) It seems like a very easily implemented, natural and desireable
adjustment, is it?
3) Or is it so that the current implemntation of namespaces does
allow sting names of variables and that would possibly disappear in
another implemntation?
4) Is it desireable to allow unicode variable names in sourcecode, like
in Java. Is it desireable for JPython?
I am thankful for ansvers/comments!
