You know, people are already quite aware that if they want to contribute to the whole community, English is their best bet. If not evident enough already, this may be cut in writing within Python style guidelines: anything being contributed to Python has to be documented and commented in English. (On the other hand, the Python project might be kind enough for allowing various contributors to write their own name the way they like it best.) > Well, for one, not everybody has an easy way to edit Unicode files. In practice, from your viewpoint, it is unlikely that you'll have much to play with non-English and non-ASCII Python sources, if ever. And if it happens nevertheless, you are even in a position to request that modules be translated before you look at them. For a lot of years, in other projects, I never witnessed that it has been a real problem in practice. Of course, closed shops will take good care and make sure they have the proper tools. No need to protect them against themselves! :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
