IIUC, Python 3.3 is intended to support CaseFolding.txt. In http://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/CaseFolding.txt U+00B5 maps to U+03BC. However, in 3.3.0b1 (80a1ae3a1b39), ascii('\u00b5'.lower()) gives '\xb5'. |

Hum, strange.
$ ./python
Python 3.3.0b1 (default:b7b8e4ada3e5+, Aug 5 2012, 16:19:18)
[GCC 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2)] on linux
>>> print(ascii('\xb5'.casefold()))
'\u03bc'

Naturally, you have to use casefold():
>>> hex(ord("\u00b5".casefold()))
'0x3bc'

Yes, the documentation for str.casefold() suggests that lower() is not meant to casefold: "For example, the German lowercase letter 'ß' is equivalent to "ss". Since it is already lowercase, lower() would do nothing to 'ß'; casefold() converts it to "ss"." http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#str.casefold |
