Unicode identifiers have been proposed before: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2001-February/000741.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-May/143901.html Based on those threads, it seems that two empirical criteria that would sway many in the Python community are: 1) Evidence of positive use and results from languages that already support Unicode identifiers, such as Java, and/or 2) Support of Unicode identifiers in languages where the primary language author's native tongue is not based on Latin characters (notably Yukihiro Matsumoto's Ruby). -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises LLC _______________________________________________ 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
