Agreed, but FWIW, if you compared Slavic-writing people to Chinese-writing people, I would think that a higher percentage of Slavic-writing people would be bilingual in terms of their ability to write code in non-Slavic alphabets, due to various cultural/geographical factors. I don't predict a huge upswing in Slavic-writing Python programmers after PEP 3131, even among children. ____________________________________________________________________________________ It's here!
