support for unicode identifiers...
support for unicode identifiers This rewrites some of the regular expressions that are used to match Python identifiers, so that they are unicode compatible. In Python 3, identifiers can contain unicode characters as long as the first character is not numeric. Examples for the changes: • inputtransformer: ``` In [1]: π = 3.14 In [2]: π.is_integer? Object `is_integer` not found. ``` ---------- • namespace: ``` π.is_integ*? ``` or ``` In [1]: %psearch π.is_integ Python identifiers can only contain ascii characters. ``` ---------- • prefilter: ``` %autocall 1 φ = float get_ipython().prefilter("φ 3") # should be 'φ(3)', but returns 'φ 3' ``` ---------- • completerlib: If there is a file e.g. named `π.py` in the current directory, then ``` import IPython IPython.core.completerlib.module_list('.') # should contain module 'π' ```

Documenting What's New

When making a new pull request that either adds a new feature, or makes a
backwards-incompatible change to IPython, please add a new .rst file in this
directory documenting this change as a part of your Pull Request.

This will allow multiple Pull Requests to do the same without conflicting with
one another. Periodically, IPython developers with commit rights will run a
script and populate development.rst
with the contents of this directory, and clean it up.

Files which describe new features can have any name, such as
antigravity-feature.rst, whereas backwards incompatible changes must have
have a filename starting with incompat-, such as
incompat-switching-to-perl.rst. Our "What's new" files always have two
sections, and this prefix scheme will make sure that the backwards incompatible
changes get routed to their proper section.

To merge these files into :file:whatsnew/development.rst, run the script :file:tools/update_whatsnew.py.
