Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: Note that this does not just affect MacOSX, this even affects Linux (although the behaviour on the default filesystems is different).
On Linux the default is case-sensitive filesystems, but you can use network filesystems that have case-insensitive behavior, for example by using a CIFS share. This means that /mnt/myserver-share/foo/bar and /mnt/myserver-share/FOO/BAR may or may not refer to the same "object": there aren't the same if /mnt/myserver-share is a regular Linux filesystem but will be when /mnt/myserver-share is a mount from a CIFS server. In short: os.path.normcase is hopelessly naive in its assumptions about system behavior. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3485> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
