Hi all,

Very nice! For Python, I have been trying to get information on Unicode
codepoints extended. Perhaps this approach might also benefit
libuninameslist. For more information, see
https://bugs.python.org/issue6331 and https://bugs.python.org/issue16684

If someone who is into Python would like to have access to additional
information on Unicode codepoints, please try to get these two issues
moved further towards getting implement in a Python release.

Thanks,

Pander
