not so fast. :) Consider: /my/path/to/usbkey/and/file everything up to "/my/path/to/usbkey" is case sensitive. only the "and/ file" is case insensitive. but my list of stored paths might include all images under "/my". thus /my/path/to/usbkey/and/file1==/my/path/to/usbkey/and/FILE1 /my/path/to/usbkey/and/file1==/my/path/to/usbkey/AND/FILE1 but /my/path/to/usbkey/and/file1!=/my/path/TO/usbkey/AND/FILE1 so to do this right I'd need to establish which parts of the path are case insensitive. being able to retrieve the actual path from an equivalent representation would be so much simpler. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
