I doubt it does. It sure doesn't on unix, and I fail to see any reason why it should do that on windows - given that the total number of lower() in pdb.py amounts to one, and that's used to process user-input such as "Yes", "y", "YES" or whatnot. Are you sure you are not processing the content through some lower()-call when embedding pdb? Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
