I'm changing my vote on this to a +1 for two reasons:

* Initially I thought this wasn't supported by Python at all but I see that currently it is supported but that support is broken (or at least limited to UTF-8 filesystem encodings). Since support is there, might as well make it better (especially if it tidies up the code base at the same time). * I still don't think it's a good idea to give modules non-ASCII names but the "consenting adults" approach suggests we should let people shoot themselves in the foot if they believe they have good reason to do so.

I'm also +1 on this for the reasons Simon gives.

I should have a chance to look at the patch this weekend.

Cheers, Nick.
