from re import search, IGNORECASE

def is_string_match(word1, word2):
    #  Case insensitively function that checks if two words are the same
    # word1: string
    # word2: string | list

    # if the word1 is in a list of words
    if isinstance(word2, list):
        for word in word2:
            if search(rf'\b{word1}\b', word, IGNORECASE):
                return True
        return False

    # if the word1 is same as word2
    if search(rf'\b{word1}\b', word2, IGNORECASE):
        return True
    return False

is_match_word = is_string_match("Hello", "hELLO") 
True

is_match_word = is_string_match("Hello", ["Bye", "hELLO", "@vagavela"])
True

is_match_word = is_string_match("Hello", "Bye")
False

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
>>> 

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)
....:

考虑使用jaraco.text中的FoldedCase:

>>> from jaraco.text import FoldedCase
>>> FoldedCase('Hello World') in ['hello world']
True

如果你想要一个不考虑大小写的字典，使用来自jaraco.collections的FoldedCaseKeyedDict:

>>> from jaraco.collections import FoldedCaseKeyedDict
>>> d = FoldedCaseKeyedDict()
>>> d['heLlo'] = 'world'
>>> list(d.keys()) == ['heLlo']
True
>>> d['hello'] == 'world'
True
>>> 'hello' in d
True
>>> 'HELLO' in d
True

def insenStringCompare(s1, s2):
    """ Method that takes two strings and returns True or False, based
        on if they are equal, regardless of case."""
    try:
        return s1.lower() == s2.lower()
    except AttributeError:
        print "Please only pass strings into this method."
        print "You passed a %s and %s" % (s1.__class__, s2.__class__)

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)")
