sigh, Looking at the mail in Thunderbird, the effect is spoiled... Run
also "cat utf8.py" -- should look like so:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

a = u'Launchpad odd variants'
b = u'Lаunchpad odd variants'
c = u'Launchpad odd νariants'
d = u'Launchpad οdd variants'

print a == b
print a == c
print a == d
print b == c
print b == d
print c == d
