Even allowing unicode letters in variable names period is questionable, but that loud debate was over years ago. Fortunately I have never seen any python code in the wild with non-latin characters for variable names. Would make editing code very painful for developers from different locales and keyboards. Even if it might seem novel at first to have π be a variable name. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
