What is the best way to do a simple case insensitive comparison in Python?
As far as I can tell, the only option is to do str1.lowercase() ==
str2.lowercase() (or uppercase). But that strikes me as quite verbose
for such a common operation, and possibly inneficient since it would
create and destroy 2 tempory objects. Perhaps there should be a
dedicated function in the string object, or (+1) an operator?
Apologies if I have missed something. I haven't done a great deal of
work int Python yet.
