The unicodedata module only contains data up to Unicode 5.2 (October 2009), so attempting to reference any character from a later version e.g:
unicodedata.lookup("TURKISH LIRA SIGN")
results in a KeyError.
Also, it seems to be limited to properties in the UnicodeData.txt file and does not contain any data from the other files from the Unicode Character Database (the perl library Unicode::UCD is far more complete).
Are there any plans to update this module to the latest Unicode version (6.2, with 6.3 being released shortly)
It's been updated to 6.2 almost a year ago, so Python 3.3 should have that.
3.3 shipped with 6.1. --David
