I see.  It's not a problem if I don't make a typo...

OK.  I can use 0-9 on the main keyboard until then.

Thank you... but I was asking how to type periods (=Japanese "maru") with  
uim-py.
Would it be possible to include punctuation symbols in PY.scm by default?
I added the following to mine thanks to David san. ;-)
(((".")) ("。"))
((("?")) ("？"))
((("!")) ("！"))

谢谢。
