Not directly I'm afraid. You could fetch all the keys and do a case 
insensitive match though:


def get_value_case_insensitive(key, section):
    keys = dict([(entry.lower(), entry) for entry in section.keys()])
    real_key = keys[key.lower()] # will raise KeyError if key is not found
    return section[real_key]
   

config  = ConfigObj(filename)
section = get_value_case_insensitive('my_Timer', config) # fetch the 
section case-insensitively
value = get_value_case_insensitive('some_key', section) # fetch the 
required key case-insensitively
