Jason Orendorff a écrit :

Python should allow foreign-language identifiers because (1) it's a gesture of good will to people everywhere who don't speak English fluently; (2) some students will benefit; (3) some people writing code that no one else will ever see will benefit. As I said in a previous post, these use cases would be well served by a command line switch. People who do not care about distributing their code can just do alias python = python -I

On the other hand, people who want wider distribution would test without the switch and easily check that all their identifiers are ASCII.

The default should be the best choice for the python open source community, that is ASCII identifiers only.

Cheers, Baptiste
