This is a recommendation, it does not mean that it is forbidden. But on Fedora, 
I'm unable to set a non-ASCII hostname. Arch Linux may be different.

Python should not fail with non-ASCII hostname, but I don't know which encoding 
should be used: ascii/surrogateescape (PEP 383)? the locale encoding + 
surrogateescape error handler?
