The Unicode database OTOH defines the upper/lower case mapping in a locale independent way, so the mappings are guaranteed to always produce the same results on all platforms.
Actually, that isn't the full truth; see UAX#21, which is now official part of Unicode 4. It specifies two kinds of case conversion: simple case conversion, and full case conversion. Python only supports simple case conversion at the moment. Full case conversion is context (locale) dependent, and must take into account SpecialCasing.txt.
