I forgot to add the following:
>>> setattr(C, "è", u"The letter è")
>>> getattr(C, "è")
u'The letter \xe8'
>>> print getattr(C, "è")
The letter è
Python identifiers can be generic strings, including Latin-1
characters;
they cannot be unicode strings, however:
>>> setattr(C, u"è", "The letter è")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe8' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
So you are right after all, but I though most people didn't know that
you can have
valid identifiers with accented letters, spaces, and non printable
chars.
