New submission from Tom Christiansen <tchr...@perl.com>: Python's casemapping functions only use what Unicode calls simple casemaps. These are only appropriate for functions that operate on single characters alone, not for those that operate on strings. The reason for this is that you get much better results with full casemapping. Java, Ruby, and Perl all do full casemapping for their equivalent functions that do string mapping, and Python should, too.
I include a program that has a much of mappings and foldings both simple and full. Yes, it was machine-generated. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: mux.python messages: 141928 nosy: tchrist priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Request for python casemapping functions to use full not simple casemaps per Unicode's recommendation type: feature request versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22883/mux.python _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12736> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
