Windows uses a simple WCHAR->WCHAR (lower->upper) mapping for case comparison. it doesn't handle those cases, but it does handle all BMP characters that have a simple case equivalent within the BMP as of the unicode version that Microsoft supported when the disk was formatted. It's unfair to pick the two worst examples that you know offhand and declare that this means "only for ASCII". Pick any latin-1 (etc) diacritic, any letter of the greek and cyrillic alphabet, and it'll handle them just fine. OSX fails the same cases, incidentally. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
