Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: There has been a relatively recent discussion of case mappings under #12753 (msg144836).
I personally agree with Martin: str.upper/lower should remain the way it is - a simplistic 1-to-1 mapping using UnicodeData.txt fields. More sophisticated case mapping algorithms belong to a specialized library module not python core. The behavior of .title() and .capitalize() is harder to defend, so if someone can point out to a python library (PyICU?) that gets it right we can reference it in the documentation. ---------- versions: +Python 3.4 -Python 2.6, Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
