This is cached to prevent lots of little stat calls. This approach is reported to work on "Macintosh, Unix, and Windows", but I've only tested on Linux and OS-X. Please let me know if it solves your issue.
Along the way, I found an interesting discussion about why normcase does what it does on OS-X. (Summary: because file names are case sensitive on OS-X, but not the default HFS+ filesystem that Macs ship with as their System volume.) http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-January/360098.html Cheers, Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
