Few points that could be useful,

1) I added print statements in `shutil.move` and found that the `real_dst` was wrong for the case coz os.path.isdir returns true.

>> import os
>> os.mkdir('test')
>> os.path.isdir('TEst')
True

In shutil.move, when we do shutil.move('test', 'TEst'), os.rename is actually applied to 'test' and 'TEst\test'. Thats why os.rename failed for the case in shutil.move.

2) os.rename has its own problems.

>> import os
>> os.mkdir('test')
>> os.rename('TEst', 'teST')

os.rename succeeded when the source 'TEst' did not exist.
Is this behaviour correct?.
This applies to shutil.move also.

>> import os,shutil
>> os.mkdir('test')
>> shutil.move('TEst', 'teST')

The folder 'test' gets deleted when trying to move 'TEst' to 'teST'. The case check should be done to the source argument also.
