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.
