I am not quite motivated enough to search the archives, but I'm pretty sure the examples actually found were less prominent than that. There seemed to be at least one or two fora where it was something of a local idiom. >... I don't recall ever seeing > an identifier with ASCII and Japanese glommed together without a > separator. It was almost always of the form "English verb - Japanese > lexical component". The problem was that some were written without a "-" or "_" to separate the halves. It looked fine -- the script change was obvious to even someone who didn't speak the non-English language. But having to support that meant any remaining restriction on mixed scripts would be either too weak to be worthwhile, or too complicated to write into the python language specification. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/CUTMZG55WY3CLNNKB6VTPCOUXJ22EEZY/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
