Unicode support in package names?

[andrew.p...@gmail.com]

Go has decent support for Unicode, but go get doesn't appear to include this yet:

$ go get -u github.com/mcandre/toys/go/испытание
package github.com/mcandre/toys/go/испытание: invalid github.com/ import path "github.com/mcandre/toys/go/испытание"

Please file a bug.

That should work. The problem appears to be in vcs.go:

var vcsPaths = []*vcsPath{

        // Github                                                                                                                               

        {

                prefix: "github.com/",

                re:     `^(?P<root>github\.com/[A-Za-z0-9_.\-]+/[A-Za-z0-9_.\-]+)(/[A-Za-z0-9_.\-]+)*$`,

                vcs:    "git",

                repo:   "https://{root}",

                check:  noVCSSuffix,

        },

Please file an issue. The underlying issue is the github import path

regular expression hardcodes the allowed characters.

^(?P<root>github\.com/[A-Za-z0-9_.\-]+/[A-Za-z0-9_.\-]+)(/[A-Za-z0-9_.\-]+)*$ 

Perhaps it doesn't need to care beyond the user and repository name?

Yes, please file an issue, but I think this was intentional. Import paths get written to the file system, and we want to make sure that Go code can be checked out almost everywhere, even on file systems that aren't as good at Unicode as yours.
