通常的方法是将字符串大写或小写，以便进行查找和比较。例如:

>>> "hello".upper() == "HELLO".upper()
True
>>> 

您可以使用casefold()方法。casefold()方法在比较时忽略案例。

firstString = "Hi EVERYONE"
secondString = "Hi everyone"

if firstString.casefold() == secondString.casefold():
    print('The strings are equal.')
else:
    print('The strings are not equal.')

输出:

The strings are equal.

def search_specificword(key, stng):
    key = key.lower()
    stng = stng.lower()
    flag_present = False
    if stng.startswith(key+" "):
        flag_present = True
    symb = [',','.']
    for i in symb:
        if stng.find(" "+key+i) != -1:
            flag_present = True
    if key == stng:
        flag_present = True
    if stng.endswith(" "+key):
        flag_present = True
    if stng.find(" "+key+" ") != -1:
        flag_present = True
    print(flag_present)
    return flag_present

输出: search_specificword(“经济适用房”，“欧洲经济适用房的核心”) 假

search_specificword(“经济适用房”，“经济适用房的核心，在欧洲”) 真正的

我找到了一个干净的解决方案，我正在使用一些固定的文件扩展名。

from pathlib import Path


class CaseInsitiveString(str):
   def __eq__(self, __o: str) -> bool:
      return self.casefold() == __o.casefold()

GZ = CaseInsitiveString(".gz")
ZIP = CaseInsitiveString(".zip")
TAR = CaseInsitiveString(".tar")

path = Path("/tmp/ALL_CAPS.TAR.GZ")

GZ in path.suffixes, ZIP in path.suffixes, TAR in path.suffixes, TAR == ".tAr"

# (True, False, True, True)

假设ASCII字符串:

string1 = 'Hello'
string2 = 'hello'

if string1.lower() == string2.lower():
    print("The strings are the same (case insensitive)")
else:
    print("The strings are NOT the same (case insensitive)")

从Python 3.3开始，casefold()是一个更好的选择:

string1 = 'Hello'
string2 = 'hello'

if string1.casefold() == string2.casefold():
    print("The strings are the same (case insensitive)")
else:
    print("The strings are NOT the same (case insensitive)")

如果您想要一个处理更复杂unicode比较的更全面的解决方案，请参阅其他答案。

我看到这个用正则表达式的解。

import re
if re.search('mandy', 'Mandy Pande', re.IGNORECASE):
# is True

它和口音很搭

In [42]: if re.search("ê","ê", re.IGNORECASE):
....:        print(1)
....:
1

但是，它不适用于unicode字符不区分大小写的情况。谢谢@Rhymoid指出，我的理解是，它需要确切的符号，因为情况是真实的。回显如下:

In [36]: "ß".lower()
Out[36]: 'ß'
In [37]: "ß".upper()
Out[37]: 'SS'
In [38]: "ß".upper().lower()
Out[38]: 'ss'
In [39]: if re.search("ß","ßß", re.IGNORECASE):
....:        print(1)
....:
1
In [40]: if re.search("SS","ßß", re.IGNORECASE):
....:        print(1)
....:
In [41]: if re.search("ß","SS", re.IGNORECASE):
....:        print(1)
....:
