New submission from julien tayon: I guess unicode variable names are restricted to letters, and that symbols and punctuation shoud be ignored (except _).
I have tested other dots (punctuation) they dont work. Only http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/00b7/index.htm oddly enough has worked so far. $ python3.2 Python 3.2.3 (default, Sep 10 2012, 18:14:40) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> foo⋅bar=42 File "<stdin>", line 1 foo⋅bar=42 ^ SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier >>> print(ord("foo⋅bar"[3])) 8901 >>> foo·bar = 42 >>> print(ord("foo·bar"[3])) 183 I have sampled randomly in the same block as MIDDLE DOT and it seems to behave correctly. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 173049 nosy: julien.tayon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: unicode name accepts a punctuation glyph type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16249> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
