Going with the widest possible set of source characters (as PEP 3131 does) and restricting them later (in 3.1) would break code. Going with a smaller set of possible source characters and expanding them later would not break code. Going with ASCII by default plus locally approved charset-extensions would not break code unless the new restrictions overrode local decisions. -jJ _______________________________________________ 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
