See my earlier post on building Python as a Windows 8 Metro App.
As one strategy, I tried compiling Python as C++ code (as it wasn't
clear whether C is fully supported; this is now resolved). It is
actually feasible to change Python so that it compiles with a C++
compiler and still continues to compile as C also, with just
a few ifdefs.

This is, of course, off-topic wrt. the original question: even
C++11 compilers often don't support non-ASCII identifiers.

Martin
