It's actually unlikely that you encounter "тор" or "нтер" - they don't mean anything in Russian (FWIW, интерпретатор means interpreter; so "тор" is akin "ter" and "нтер" akin "nter"). I cannot believe that you would actually consider retyping code that contains Cyrillic characters (you won't understand what it does, would you?), and even if you did - how would an ASCII-only flag on the interpreter help? If you type Top and HTep (again, please look in my eyes and tell me that you would *actually* type in these identifiers), the error in the interpreter won't trigger.
