So Python can have unicode variable names but you can't
"explode" (**myvariable) a dict with unicode keys? WTF?

The OP probably means
>>def f(a=1): return a
....
>>f(**{"a": 42})
42
>>f(**{u"a": 42})

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

Hmm. Why did you say that Python can have unicode variable
names? In the version you are using, it can't. In Python
3.0, it can, but then, you can also use Unicode strings
as keys in **arguments, in Python 3.0.

Oh. I read somewhere that UTF-8 variable names we're supported. I
thought I even saw a colleague using Kanji.

In source code (string literals, comments), surely. Not in variable
names, not in 2.x.
To rephrase Bruno's comment: Python supports UTF-8 as a source encoding.
That doesn't mean that you can use all Unicode characters in all places
of the code.
