While it is fine for Python to support Unicode to its fullest, I don't think it's a good idea for a programmer to use non-English identifiers. The (few) keywords are in English anyway. Imagine reading code like this: for oppilas in luokka: if oppilas.hylätty(): oppilas.ilmoita(oppilas.koetulokset) which looks nauseating whether you are an English-speaker or Finnish-speaker.
