How to use:

1. First, make sure the script is set to be executable and that the path to the DLC directory is correct (other comments will help)
2. Put the EUI zip with the py script in the same folder for ease.
3. Open a terminal at the location of the two files.
4. Drag the py file into the terminal; it will put the path to the file in the terminal.
5. Type the full name of the EUI zip (including '.zip') after the space following the path to the py file.
6. Hit Enter.
7. Confirm your Steam Civ 5 DLC folder has a folder called ui_bc1
8. Done!

Example terminal code:

If you put the files on your desktop, the text in the terminal should look something like

/home/username/Desktop/eui_install.py eui_v1_27c.zip

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but a much easier way to do this would just unzip the original EUI zip using 'unzip -LL eui_zip.zip' which automatically forces conversion of every directory and filename to lowercase.

Thanks for the comment Mfdas, noted in comments. Definitely a better way to do it, this was discussed in the reddit thread as well.

This also seems to work (after extracting):

convmv --lower -r -f UTF-8 --notest UI_bc1
