I was just paid a visit by my Google colleague Mark Davis, co-founder of the Unicode project and the president of the Unicode Consortium. He would like to see improved Unicode support for Python. (Well duh. :-) On his list of top priorities are:
1. Upgrade the unicodata module to the Unicode 5.1.0 standard 2. Extende the unicodedata module with some additional properties 3. Add support for Unicode properties to the regex syntax, including Boolean combinations
Adding support for SpecialCasing rules[0] would be good for full Unicode support too. It would fix i/I problems that are currently going on with Turkish locale.
