FWIW, the use case that setuptools has (and
for which it currently incorrectly uses normpath) is number 2.
4. Return the case of a filename in some arbitrarily-chosen
canonical form which does not depend on the file system?
This is what normpath does, but only if you're on Windows ;-)
Not quite. macpath.normcase() also lowercases the path. So does the
module for OS/2.
Interesting, since I develop on MacOS, Linux and Windows and only
experienced the problem caused by setuptools normcase'ing distribution
names on Windows. The MacOS case also isn't in the docs.
Unless you're using Mac OS 9 you will be using posixpath and not macpath
though. :-)
