In one word: don't.
Since PyQt has to respect the constraints of Qt (C++), what do you
expect? After rewriting uic and qt designer, there's even more trouble
ahead of your road (qt meta system, translation, ...)
I have a hard time to find the upsides from this move in python3.
What would you think about some wonderful python open source
application, that is written with all kind of _labels_ in hanzi, kanji
or hanja? I guess, it would prevent you from modifying anything in that
code. Similar, a lot of people in the world are lost with cyrillic
labels.
Imagine, Phil would write his code in some gaelic language? Even if
(mostly) ascii based, only a small population would be able to
understand the code. To get this straight: even written with proper
english labels, comments and docuemtation, it's hard to grok
completely. Try it.
Unicode labels are a silly form of obfuscation to me.
If you like that, why don't you start hacking in APL, then?
