New submission from John <jh45...@gmail.com>:

A few months ago I read that in 3.2 it will be possible to import modules that 
are located on paths containing any unicode character. (more precisely, with 
chars not in the local code page)

After an hour or two trying to get this to work in 3.2rc3, I went looking for 
clues, and found these 2 messages in which Victor Stinner says this feature is 
delayed until Python 3.3:
http://bugs.python.org/issue3080#msg126514
http://bugs.python.org/issue10828#msg125787

Could you please make it clear in documentation and web pages, that this 
feature is not working yet. 

The Python 3.2 download page includes this:
"countless fixes regarding bytes/string issues; among them full support for a 
bytes environment (filenames, environment variables)"
and I guessed this must cover importing from any unicode path, as there was no 
mention that such importing had been abandoned for this version.
