In Python 2.x, you can only use the following characters for identifiers (things like function names, variable names, etc.): the uppercase and lowercase letters A through Z, the underscore _ and, except for the first character, the digits 0 through 9. > If in a string it is accepted but coded like:" après" becomes 'apr > \xc3\xa8s' > I suppose it is a question of font encoding. > What can I do ?
