Please have a look at http://bugs.python.org/issue6412 - that patch addresses many casing issues, at least up the extent that we can actually fix them without breaking code relying on: len(s.upper()) == len(s) for upper/lower/title. If we add support for 1-n code point mappings, then we can only enable this support by using an option to the casing methods (perhaps not a bad idea: the parameter could be used to signal the local to assume). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
