[Eric] Problem with small filename letters under WinXP

Hi,

When I generate source code using wxGlade that is set to generate one 
file per class, I receive a bunch of filenames named Class1.py, 
Class2.py etc. When code in any of the classes fail after altering it, 
eric4 breaks in debug mode with the failing file opened. However this 
opened file has all letters lowercase (in tabbed view header), i.e. 
class1.py, class2.py etc. When I change something and save such file, I 
end up with original file renamed from Class1.py to class1.py. However 
*.pyc files stay with the case set to original, i.e. Class1.pyc and it 
is not being recompiled, so when I fix the cause of the problem, I still 
receive errors from the debugger indicating irrelevant places, that 
originally were failing in non-fixed version. The solution is to remove 
all pyc files and stay with lowercase versions, however using wxGlade 
again, I again end up with upper-lowercase mix and the story repeats. 
How can I overcome this? I could stick to lowercase letters in wxGlade 
class names, but I am not used to such convention and I wouldn't want 
that...

Best regards,
Lukasz
