Issue with namespaces when concepts begin with a numeral.

[Nasreddine]

Hi,

I have defined Eurovoc namespace where some concepts begin with a digit. Python flags this as a syntax error.
Is there a solution to this problem?

from rdflib import Namespace, URIRef
eurovoc = Namespace("http://eurovoc.europa.eu/")

print(eurovoc.1005)

print(eurovoc.1005)
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

@Nasreddine class Namespace accepts only string as name, see

  def __getattr__(self, name: str) -> URIRef:
      if name.startswith("__"):  # ignore any special Python names!
          raise AttributeError
      return self.term(name)

you can write:

from rdflib import Namespace

eurovoc = Namespace("http://eurovoc.europa.eu/")
concept = getattr(eurovoc, '1005')
print(concept)

The attribute access is a dynamic convenience (and within the bonds of python syntax). Item access (like with dictionaries) always works. So (preferably) you do:

print(eurovoc['1005'])
