You could try win32api.GetLongPathName(...). However, I've found that
some parts of the path are converted to the correct case but other
parts aren't:

>>> print win32api.GetLongPathName(r"c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\foobar.py")
c:\documents and settings\administrator\Desktop\FooBar.py

How does your solution compare to using os.listdir(...) instead of
glob?
