Not in Latin-1... you are probably using a different code page
in your editor.

>>> u'ιδ'
u'\351\344'
>>> u'ιδ'.upper()
u'\311\304'
>>> print u'ιδ'.encode('latin-1')
ιδ
>>> print u'ιδ'.upper().encode('latin-1')
ΙΔ

Strange enough, I get these outputs on my Linux machine:

>>> print 'ιδ'.upper()
ιδ

Looks like the C lib doesn't know about upper case mappings
for these Latin-1 characters.
