Hi All,
I'm curious as to why, with a file called "Foo.txt" on a case descriminating but case insensitive filesystem, os.path.normcase('FoO.txt') will return "foo.txt" rather than "Foo.txt"?
Yes, I know the behaviour is documented, but I'm wondering if anyone can remember the rationale for that behaviour?
cheers,
Chris
