of course. but maybe it would be a nice effort to enable writing code in cyrillic, since it is a whole new alphabet. for the accented letters from slavic (or other) languages, i agree that one wouldn't gain much from enabling their use in source code. but my point being, if we are going to add chinese and japanese, why not do everything right and add all languages/alphabets? after all, after adding chinese, how hard can it be to add a few accedented letters :) > > I don't predict a huge upswing in Slavic-writing > Python programmers after PEP 3131, even among > children. > you are probably right. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
