Alex Martelli wrote a couple of interesting posts about his
experiences with multilingual comments back in the discussion of PEP
263. One of them involved a team from Israel, I think, or maybe South
Africa. If you Google site:mail.python.org for Alex and those
countries, the thread would probably come up.
Either my google-fu is failing or your memory failed you. I've spent an
hour and a half googling, and I'm getting nothing relevant. It doesn't
help that Alex was a very prolific poster back in the day.
Hell, I can't even find where PEP 263 was discussed, apart from a
brief discussion here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-July/026449.html
which Alex didn't take part in. (And that was a year after the PEP was
first created.)

I think your search might have been hindered by your ability to spell. :-)
