Earlier this year I was at a pypy sprint helping to work on Python 2.7 compatibility. The bytearray type has much of the string interface, including swapcase… So there was effort to implement this method with the correct semantics for pypy. Doubtless the same has been true for IronPython, and will also be true for Jython.

While I haven't used swapcase() a single time, I doubt there is much difficult in implementing pure ASCII semantics, is there?

Antoine.
