It is certainly true that the use of non-ascii indentifiers will cause the code to be unusable by _someone_ using _some_ set of tools. This is something that the user will be aware of (as all new users of non-ascii have been in the past). Tools won't change without bug reports. -Mike _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
