[New-bugs-announce] [issue12732] Can't portably use Unicode in Python identifiers

[Tom Christiansen]

New submission from Tom Christiansen <tchrist at perl.com>:

You cannot reliably use Unicode in Python identifiers because of the narrow/wide build issue.  The enclosed file is fine on wide builds but gets compiler errors on narrow ones during compilation.

Go, Ruby, Java, and Perl all handle this situation without any problem; only Python has the bug.
