The problem appears not be with programming or handling character sets or anything like that. Then you go on to say let's stick to English? Just wow. At least you are being entertaining for now. I once argued to limit Python identifiers to latin letters only, but at least that made some sort of sense (lowest-common denominator) and it had nothing to do with running in an internationalized environment or dealing with unicode or utf-8 -encoded text files. The OP's problem definitely sounds like a Python bug on Windows to me. I've never had similar problems on other internationalized OS's like Linux or OS X. How can you be Python's savior when you want to discount out of hand at least have of Python's users?
