No, I really created an identifier. For instance I can create a global name in this way: >>> globals()["è"]=1 >>> globals()["è"] 1 > According to the language reference, identifiers can only contain letters a-z and A-Z, > digits 0-9 and underscore. >http://docs.python.org/ref/identifiers.html The parser has this restriction, so it gets confused if it finds "è". But the underlying implementation just works for generic identifiers. Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
