There are also reasons to want only "local" letters. For example, in a French interface, I might want to include the extra French letters, but not the Greek.
The Unicode world doesn't support this directly AFAIK. The locale module doesn't deal with Unicode, only with 8-bit characters (not multi-byte characters). You'll lose this anyway. Certainly string.letters is not going to provide this functionality.
