The only simple way that comes in my mind is to write a test file to try it out but that's a hack

But being able to detect it sounds like something we should definitely have in os/os.path.

Actually, I just dis a bit of digging - on Windows, GetVolumeInformation, or GetVolumeInformationByHandleW looks like it'd do the job. Does anyone know how to find out if a filesystem is case sensitive on Linux/MacOS/Unix...? Paul.
