Yes, but:
H:\>echo foo > TeSt.txt
...>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.realpath('test.txt')
'H:\\test.txt'
>>> os.path.normcase('TeSt.txt')
'test.txt'
Both feel unsatisfying to me :-S
How can I get 'TeSt.txt' from 'test.txt' (which feels like the contract
normcase *should* have...)
They can be used without a working
filesystem even. (E.g. you can import ntpath on a Unix box and happily
parse Windows paths.)
But what value does that add over just doing a .lower() on the path?
