It's not a bug. The specification of identifiers refers only to the places where they appear in the language grammar, i.e. what you can put into source code. What parameters objects accept in __setattr__ is an entirely different question. Some objects may check for well-formedness, some objects may accept only a small number of identifiers (e.g. when they use __slots__), some may accept non-strings as attribute names.
