Python: getting filename case as stored in Windows?

Question

Though Windows is case insensitive, it does preserve case in filenames. In Python, is there any way to get a filename with case as it is stored on the file system?

Answer 1

I had problems with special characters with the win32api solution above. For unicode filenames you need to use:

win32api.GetLongPathNameW(win32api.GetShortPathName(path))
