What is the status of I18N identifiers? Has any progress been made? If not, I'd like to write a PEP, and mentor a SoC student to work on that (if one shows up).
Is there any agreement over this feature in the first place? This counter-question may be an answer to my original question. If there is no consensus, it is unlikely that anything had been done. I won't discuss the specific concerns now; a PEP needs to be written first.
Since people have voiced their opinions, let me add mine:
As a professional programmer I would never use I18N identifiers.
OTOH, as native German and father of some children I have a hard time explaining to them why they cannot have a variable named 'Bücher' if they are writing a program that counts books, for example ;-).
