case-convert
Cross library to convert case with permissive input
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last release 2020-09-10, no maintenance since) and has high install friction. For a simple, actively maintained case converter, consider alternatives. If you need only basic case conversion, Python's built-in string methods or a maintained third-party package are safer choices.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
case-convert is a lightweight string case-formatting library that converts text between five case styles: camel, kebab, pascal, snake, and upper. It accepts permissive input, treating punctuation and whitespace as word separators, so inputs like "__hello Great--world" normalize cleanly to the target case without requiring pre-processing.
The package has no runtime dependencies and is available for Python 3. However, it has been abandoned since September 2020 with no maintenance activity, meaning bugs will not be fixed and compatibility with newer Python versions is uncertain. The LGPLv3+ license is copyleft, so using it in proprietary code requires careful licensing review.
Use it for
- Convert API response field names from snake_case to camelCase for JavaScript interoperability
- Normalize user input or configuration keys to a consistent case format before processing
- Transform database column names to different naming conventions for code generation
- Standardize variable names across polyglot codebases that use different case conventions
- Prepare text for case-sensitive lookups or comparisons by normalizing to a single format

More Text Processing packages
A drop-in replacement for Python's standard `re` module that adds advanced regex features like nested sets, fuzzy matching, lookaround in conditionals, and full Unicode case-folding while maintaining backward compatibility.
pyparsing provides a library for building text parsers directly in Python code using composable grammar classes, handling quoted strings, whitespace variation, and embedded comments without regex or lex/yacc.
Install it if you need to parse text or define grammars programmatically.
fonttools manipulates font files in multiple formats (TrueType, OpenType, AFM, Type 1, Mac-specific) and includes TTX, a tool to convert fonts to and from XML text format.
Install it if you need to read, write, or manipulate fonts programmatically or via the TTX command-line tool.
Docutils converts plaintext documentation in reStructuredText format into multiple output formats including HTML, XML, and LaTeX using a modular processing system.
RapidFuzz provides fast fuzzy string matching using Levenshtein Distance and related metrics, implemented mostly in C++ with Python bindings for rapid similarity scoring and approximate string matching.
Install it if you need fuzzy string matching; it's a solid replacement for FuzzyWuzzy with better licensing and performance.
tinycss2 parses CSS strings into token and block objects, and generates CSS strings from those objects, following the CSS Syntax Level 3 specification without enforcing specific properties or values.
Install it if your project requires CSS tokenization or syntax manipulation.
