I see no reason not to make a similar promise for numeric literals. I see no good reason to allow compatibility full-width Japanese "ASCII" numerals or Arabic cursive numerals in "for i in range(...)" for example. I do not think that anyone, at least not me, has argued for anything other than 0-9 digits (or 0-f for hex) in literals in program code. The only issue is whether non-programmer users should be able to use their native digits in applications in response to input prompts.
Me neither. This is solely about Python being able to parse numeric input in the float(), int() and complex() constructors.
