And if I think of PHP's latest fiasco that happened with unicode characters, it makes me shudder to think you'd want that stuff in Python. If I remember correctly, it was the Turkish locale that they stuggled with: Turkey apparently does not have a capital "I", so some weird PHP magic code broke with the Turkish locale in effect. Having to keep crap like that in mind is just plain horrible. I'm very happy with the way Python does it.
When Turkish changed to the Latin alphabet, the letter pair I/i was split into 2 separate letters, each with an uppercase and a lowercase form: I/ı (uppercase without dot and lowercase without dot) and İ/i (uppercase with dot and lowercase with dot). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
