I'm an Open-Source guy too but I'm for that proposal. Anyway, this is a bad argument as was show already. When accepting code in a project, you already HAVE to make some rule as to how the code is writen, and 99% of the time those rules include "All identifiers in correct english (or rather, american) and all comments in english". Recieving a patch containing identifiers you cannot read is simple enouth to reject. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
