I'm using the function glob from module glob to obtain a list of all
files in a directory that match a pattern. Unfortunately, some
filenames are in upper case, others are in lower case and yet others
are in mixed case. How can I do a case-insenstive glob that picks up
all files that match a string regardless of case? If its any help, I'm
running Python 2.3.4 under Windows XP.

Just use os.path.normcase() on all of them.
import glob
import os
flist=glob.glob(mask)
flist=[os.path.normcase(f) for f in flist]
....
<insert your code here>

If it works the same as it does on Unix then you can use the [Xx] construct
for each of the characters, eg *[Ff][Oo][Oo]* but I'll bet there are better
ways to do the task.

Unless XP has made a drastic change in the handling of file
names, you don't worry about them...
flist = glob.glob("D*.*")
flist
['desktop.ini', 'Dennis Lee Bieber.asc', 'Doc1.doc', 'DF297.pdf']
flist = glob.glob("d*.*")
flist
['desktop.ini', 'Dennis Lee Bieber.asc', 'Doc1.doc', 'DF297.pdf']
Windows is a "case preserving, case insensitive" OS.
Well, actually I should modify that -- the Windows file explorer
tends to convert names in all "CAPS" into just first letter "Caps" when
displaying... But it is still all CAPS internally.

You can also make it cross platform by doing this:
flist = glob.glob("[dD]*.*")
