I am late on this subthread, but FWIW and FYI with Python 2.4.2 and Idle 1.1.2 
on WinXP I can use non-ascii identifiers transparently both in modules and at 
the prompt, for instance

 >>> grüzi = râle = niño = ça = True
 >>> grüzi
True

I thought it was a provided feature, but scanning the subthread gave the 
contrary impression. Should we expect disappearance of the property ?

Best, bb
