From one of the TAs at AIMS - apparently in some software (e.g. Mma, but probably others) there are escape sequences/shortcuts that can be used to get non-ASCII variable names easily. The example was "Esc, eta, Esc" giving Eta in Mma.
Implementing this in the sagenb is probably too ambitious at this point, but maybe in a .sagews this wouldn't be a bad idea. Or something analogous that is more 'native' to SMC. Anyway, an idea.

Unfortunately, Python2 doesn't support non-ascii variable names.

Hmm, but maybe the variable name could still be ascii but the visual version for the user (including cut-and-paste) could be non-ascii? Just brainstorming.
summary: in the codecells of a sagews, dynamically replace all greek sounding variable names with a corresponding UTF-8 symbol. I'm not sure how well that works, but it's doable.
