Message 135265 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

It is an issue because...

1. Python falls out of line with most other popular systems and languages.

2. There was never a good reason to decrease the entropy in the first place. If there was, the reason of case-sensitive files systems was not given.

3. If case-sensitivity was an issue, why wasn't it raised before? For more than 8 years (2002-08-09 till 2010-11-09) the issue never warranted a change.

The initial commit is here. http://svn.python.org/view?view=revision&revision=28113
