We all know what the PEP is about (we can read). The point is: If we do not *need* non-English/ASCII identifiers, we do not need the PEP. If the PEP does not solve an actual *problem* and still introduces some potential for *new* problems, it should be rejected. So far, the "problem" seems to just not exist. The burden of proof is on those who support the PEP. -- René -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
