[Configobj-develop] Case-insensitive option?

[Pettit, K. (SAIC) <Kei...@bp...>]

Is there a way to set items to be case insensitive?  Would be nice to
make it so the following are all the same:

Test1 =3D "fooo"
test1 =3D "fooo"
TeSt1 =3D "fooo"

Right now I'm taking the manual approch and doing a value.lower() type
of thing with the dict items but it would be nicer if that was a option
inside of configobj itself.

Thanks,

Keith

Hehe :-)

The Python world tends to be sensitive about case sensitivity... The 
last version of ConfigObj (version 3) had case insensitivity, but it 
wasn't a feature much used or liked.

As with other feature requests, I'm afraid it is a case of 'patches 
welcomed'. This would complicate the parser *and* key fetching / setting 
(i.e. just about everything). If it could be done cleanly *I* wouldn't 
be particularly opposed to it though (others may have more to say).
