I use this little toy on occasion:
class istr(str):
__slots__ = ()
def __hash__(self):
return hash(self.lower())
def __eq__(self, other):
return self.lower() == other.lower()
def __ne__(self, other):
return self.lower() != other.lower()
def __le__(self, other):
return self.lower() <= other.lower()
def __ge__(self, other):
return self.lower() >= other.lower()
def __lt__(self, other):
return self.lower() < other.lower()
def __gt__(self, other):
return self.lower() > other.lower()
Are you saying that you want to outlaw it?
