I'm writing a program where I search a variable (path), and see if it

if name in path:
....
else:
....
One question about this, how can I make it do exactly what it's doing
now, except ignore case? eg. if I do this:
i="A"
j="ab"
i in j
should return true... How do I do this?
Short answer:
if i.upper() in j.upper(): ...
Long answer: why upper()? why not lower()? Should use Unicode, casefold()
(inexistent), and canonical decomposition. See section 3.13 in the Unicode
specification.
Anyway, this may be "good enough":
from unicodedata import normalize
def caseinsensitivecmp(a,b):
return cmp(normalize("NFKD", a).upper(), normalize("NFKD", b).upper())
Apply the same transformation for the "in" operator that you're interested
in.
