I suspect stating exactly what a valid Python identifier contains as you did in parentheses above will be enough.

Given the template, u'¿Puede volver hoyohoy o hoyomañana?', you think $ma is an intended placeholder name and that ñ should be a delimiter just like whitespace and punctuation?

If end users always follow the rules, this will never come up. If they don't, should there be error message or a silent failure?
