[Eric] Problem with small filename letters under WinXP

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

it seems to be a WinXP problem. As you probably know, the WinXP filesystem is 
case insensitive. If you debug/run a script that fails, the Python 
interpreter reports the exception together with a stacktrace. In there, the 
filenames are all lowercase as reported by the OS. That means, the file is 
loaded by the IDE using the lowercased filename.

Regards,
Detlev
