Indeed if the authors of twisted suddenly go insane and decide to produce multiple, incompatible versions, that would be bad. If you're afraid of that happening, rather than argue over PEP 3131, you should give Matthew Lefkowitz a big hug and buy him a beer.

The Java community isn't fragmented by language barriers despite having had Unicode identifiers from the onset. There's no reason to think this will make the Python community spontaneously self-destruct either.
