I don't like the idea of reading the code with some kind of Chinese variable names in them. I'd prefer that I and l confusion will be the only I should care about in valid Python syntax.

Please read the PEP 3131 (Supporting Non-ASCII Identifiers): http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3131/

And the thread "Import and unicode: part two" (19 Jan 2011) on python-dev.
