Hi,

changeset: d4669f43d05f user: Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org> date: Sat Jan 14 13:23:30 2012 -0500 summary: add str.casefold() (closes #13752)

+.. method:: str.casefold() + + Return a casefolded copy of the string. Casefolded strings may be used for + caseless matching. For example, ``"MASSE".casefold() == "maße".casefold()``. + + .. versionadded:: 3.3

I think this method requires at least a link to relevant definitions (Unicode website or Wikipedia), and at best a bit more explanation (for example, it is not locale-dependent, even though the example above is only meaningful for German).

Cheers
