The documentation for os.path.normcase(path) is currently confusing or self-contradictory. Currently, it reads-- "Normalize the case of a pathname. On Unix and Mac OS X, this returns the path unchanged; on case-insensitive filesystems, it converts the path to lowercase." However, with a case-insensitive file system on Mac OS X (e.g. "File System Personality: Journaled HFS+"), normcase() does not convert paths to lowercase. As it stands, it seems like the clause "on case-insensitive filesystems, it converts the path to lowercase" should be removed or further qualified. I don't know what the qualification is though. |

Or would s/case-insensitive/not case-preserving/ be more accurate? (Well, you'd probably rewrite the sentence to eliminate the 'not'). |

This would not be more accurate because behavior depends from OS, not from file system. On Unix/Linux your can mount case-insensitive filesystem, but normcase() doesn't know anything about this. |

This has been fixed by now: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.normpath |
