(Hi, I'm writing from an address different to the one I'm subscribed with to the list because I don't have reverse dns in my mail server and mail.python.org rejects my messages. I hope that's not much trouble)

Maybe Python should always use an ASCII encodable filename for modules: a translation of the module name into an ASCII encodable string that, preferrably, was the same as the module name if the module name didn't have any non-ASCII characters. Like, if the code said:

import cafe

Python would look for a file named:

cafe.py

but if the code said:

import café

then Python would look, in any platform, for a file named:

café.py  or  café.py  or something nicer.

Something along the lines of xmlcharrefreplace.
Just an idea.

Andy.

(As it happens, it's the hex digest of the MD5 of the UTF-8 of café... ;-))
