Remember, you and I have no disagreement whatsoever about what the Python code looks like. I look forward to seeing beautiful code written in French, Korean, etc. under PEP 3131, and I have not opposed anything in the proposal that affects the code itself. We're just disagreeing about whether the Dutch tax law programmer has to uglify his environment with an alias of Python to "python3.0 -liberalunicode," or whether the American programmer in an enterprisy environment has to uglify his environment with an alias of Python to "python3.0 -parochial" to mollify his security auditors. I guess you could argue that the American programmer in an enterprisy environment already is dealing with so much ugliness, it wouldn't matter. ;)

This could easily be solved by tool support instead of yet another switch (and in effect language variant). That is, pylint, pychecker or even a svn pre-commit hook could report on code that doesn't use the character range that is valid according the coding conventions for the project.

I'm +0.5 on adding Unicode identifier support because it would allow me to use accented characters in localized code whenever appropriate.
