New submission from Max Parry <m...@maxparry.com>: The German alphabet has four extra characters (ä, ö, ü and ß) when compared to the UK/USA alphabet. Until 2017 the character ß was normally only lower case. Upper case ß was represented by SS. In 2017 upper case ß was introduced, although SS is still often/usually used instead. It is important to note that, as far as I can see, upper case ß and lower case ß are identical.
The upper() method converts upper or lower case ß to SS. N.B. ä, ö and ü are handled correctly. Lower() seems to work correctly. Please note that German is my second language and everything I say about the language, its history and its use might not be reliable. Happy to be corrected. ---------- components: Windows messages: 386938 nosy: Strongbow, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: German Text Conversion Using Upper() and Lower() type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43221> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
