Do unicode.lower() or unicode.upper() ever change the length of the string?
The Unicode standard allows for case conversions that change length, e.g. sharp-S in German should convert to SS: http://unicode.org/faq/casemap_charprop.html#6 but I see that Python doesn't do that: >>> s = "Paßstraße" >>> s.upper() 'PAßSTRAßE' The more I think about this, the more I think that upper/lower/title case conversions should change length (at least sometimes) and if Python doesn't do so, that's a bug.
