[Python] Python zipfile ExtractAll is not being case sensitive

I am making a Python code to unzip a .zip file and output the content into another. The .zip file contains many files, some with case sensitive file names such as T_N_with_client.docx T_N_with_ lient.docx.

I used ExtractAll to extract everything in the .zip file, however after running the code, the output folder only has one file listed below T_N_with_client.docx However, the content of the file is actually the content of T_N_with_Client.docx.

What is causing this error, and how can I make sure that ensure the program accounts for files that have the same name with different capitalization?

Thanks so much.
