This is not quite right, at least for Python. .upper() and .lower() (and .casefold() as well) implement the default casing algorithms from the Unicode specification, which are one-to-many (but still locale-naive). Other languages, meanwhile, might well implement locale-aware mapping that defaults to the system locale rather than requiring a locale to be passed.

For one-to-one I was thinking of the Unicode Character Database single-character upper, lower, and title case entries in the UnicodeData.txt file [1] -- i.e. the simple case mappings [2]. The one-to-many mappings are specified in SpecialCasing.txt. Some are locale independent (like my German sharp/double S example) and others are locale aware (like the Turkish example). For the locale aware mappings you need to ensure you are setting the language/locale correctly in your language of choice, or that the language is doing the right thing.
