This isn't exactly equal to use string.lower, because this work with
just encoded strings, when string.lower works with unicode too.
I'm used to have a "lower" func like this one
def lower(x): return x.lower()
to use in map. Of course it's a problem when you need many different
methods.
A solution could be something like this
>>> def doit(what):
... def func(x):
... return getattr(x,what)()
... return func
...
>>> map(doit('lower'),['aBcD',u'\xc0'])
['abcd', u'\xe0']
>>> map(doit('upper'),['aBcD',u'\xc0'])
['ABCD', u'\xc0']
The best is to use in advance just unicode or encoded strings in your
program, but this is not always possible :-/
