I think case-insensitive is correct; and there is os.path.normcase()
for this I believe.

I've just tried Python 1.5.2 (don't have 1.5.1 installed anymore, sorry)
on WinNt 4.0 SP3 and get case-insensitivity:

>>> import os, win32api

'D:\\Program Files\\Python'
>>> os.listdir('d:\\python files\\python')
['DLLs', 'Doc', 'include', INSTALL.LOG', 'Lib', 'libs', 'py.ico', 'pyc.ico',
'pycon.ico', 'python.exe', 'pythonw.exe', 'Tools', 'UNWISE.EXE']
>>> os.stat('doc')

Not really answering the original posting I know, but... :)
