Oh shit, I think know what happened. In ASCII you can lower-case letters by just adding 32 (0x20) to them. Somebody tried to do that here and fucked up the encoding. That's why all the ASCII letters in the strings are lower-case while these ones aren't. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
