Mark Summerfield added the comment: I think the str.casefold() docs are fine as far as they go, rightly covering what it _does_ rather than _how_, yet providing a reference for the details. But what they lack is more complete information. For example I discovered this:
>>> x = "files and shuffles" >>> x 'files and shuffles' >>> x.casefold() 'files and shuffles' In view of this I would add one sentence: In addition to lowercasing, this function also expands ligatures, for example, "fi" becomes "fi". ---------- nosy: +mark _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13828> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
