I'd say that's a limitation, not a bug. A lot of stuff in Python 2
depends on identifiers being ASCII-only byte strings, including -
apparently - parts of the core code. Suggestion: Switch to Python 3,
or if you can't do that, pass your identifiers through str(). When you
do eventually switch to Py3, that won't do anything, but in Py2, it'll
force them to be byte strings. As long as they are actually
ASCII-only, that'll solve your problem.
