Attachment reveals questionable results from IDLE, Windows, & several built-in functions.
        
Under IDLE: function swapcase() updates 120 characters.
Under Windows (dos-screen) or a Windows ide swapcase() updates only 52 characters: ord values 65-90 for (uppercase)A-Z and 97-122 for (lowercase)a-z.
                   
Under IDLE: functions lower() & upper() return different results than swapcase()
for hex values:  8a,  8c,  8e,  9a,  9c,  9e,  9f, ff  
 or ord values  138, 140, 142, 154, 156, 158, 159, 255
 or characters   Š    Œ    Ž    š    œ    ž    Ÿ    ÿ
