You are right, except that using the correct characters for words is not a "funny thing". Using Polish diacritics (for example) for identifier names just makes sense for a project that already uses polish comments and polish names for their code. You will never get in touch with that. Using the right charset for these polish words doesn't change a bit in your ability to debug or understand this code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
