During the past few weeks we got two reports of an example not working in the tutorial: [1], [2].


[1]: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/docs@python.org/message/ZJM3S2TE5UPFYIII5R4VQ4KY2WN4TKVO/
[2]: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/docs@python.org/thread/6FZ55HTMILK4P6EOYLAI7WXAY427NKQU/

Problem is: the example uses a `users` variable that is not defined.

users should be a dict, which is not straightforward for newcomers neither, so I propose to define it to:

    users = {"Hans": "active", "Andrea": "inactive", "Nils": "active"}

in the example, to make it work.

I've issued https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/19992.

I've changed the names mdk suggested to give an example of using non-ascii characters.
