Summary: string.punctuation

Initial Comment:
string.punctuation doesn't include the characters ¡ and
¿ used in spanish and galician.
When I start a python interactive session, import the
string module and "print string.punctuation" these two
characters never appear (indipendently of the
interpreter version).
Zope uses this module to implement structured text.
When somebody tries to write structured text, in
spanish, galician or ..., that includes any of these
two characters it doesn't work. For item, **¡this
should be bold text if it where structured text in
galician!**
Is this a lack in the python library or does it depend
on a third party?
