This should probably be brought up in the python-ideas mailing list, which is 
much more active than the group on discuss.python.org.

Andrei Kulakov  added the comment:

It seems like this would be a very good feature to have for accesibility, 
because persons with low level disabilities (e.g. carpal syndrom) will 
generally have a harder time keeping shift down while pressing a few upper case 
letters, and they would often have caps lock remapped to Esc or Ctrl to make 
them more easily usable since caps lock is almost never used. I don't have 
disability but that's what I've heard!

Tal Einat  added the comment:

Thanks for the suggestion and for the high quality PR, Madhusudhan!

I'm not sure about this feature. It seems harmless enough, with the default 
being the existing case-sensitive completion. But it seems like a rather 
esoteric thing to want, so I'm not sure it's worth adding to the stdlib and 
maintaining indefinitely.

Would you mind bringing this up for discussion on Python-Ideas, so that we can 
get a feel for how many others would find this useful?

[issue40529] Auto Completions with case insensitive

[Madhusudhan Kasula]

Madhusudhan Kasula  added the comment:

Yes. Python is case sensitive language and this feature will not break its 
essence.
This case insensitive completion will help interpreter user for easy typing and 
choose from the available options.
In the following example even user typed 'os.po', completions will give user 
all the options ignoring case:

>>>  os.po
os.POSIX_FADV_DONTNEEDos.POSIX_FADV_NORMAL  os.POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL  
os.popen( os.posix_fallocate(   
os.POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE os.POSIX_FADV_RANDOM  os.POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED
os.posix_fadvise( 
>>> os.po

And finally, this is implemented as an controllable user option with default 
value as 'case sensitive'. So user can choose to go case insensitive or not. 
Even core 'readline' also provide this option with 'set completion-ignore-case 
on'.

This is a new feature, so it would have to go into 3.9, all older versions are 
in feature-freeze.

Python is a case-sensitive language. Why would case-insensitive completions be 
useful?

[issue40529] Auto Completions with case insensitive

[Madhusudhan Kasula]

New submission from Madhusudhan Kasula :

Now, we don't have user option to make completions with case insensitive.
It would be nice if user have option to enable/disable case insensitive 
completions.
