Python identifiers can be generic strings, including Latin-1
characters;
I don't think so. You have hacked an attribute with latin-1 characters in it, but you haven't 
actually created an identifier.

According to the language reference, identifiers can only contain letters a-z and A-Z, digits 0-9 
and underscore.
