nocaselist 1.1.0

A case-insensitive list for Python

Overview

Class NocaseList is a case-insensitive list that preserves the lexical case of its items.

Example:

$ python
>>> from nocaselist import NocaseList

>>> list1 = NocaseList(['Alpha', 'Beta'])

>>> print(list1)  # Any access is case-preserving
['Alpha', 'Beta']

>>> 'ALPHA' in list1  # Any lookup or comparison is case-insensitive
True

The NocaseList class supports the functionality of the built-in list class of Python 3.8 on all Python versions it supports (except for being case-insensitive, of course). This includes the clear() and copy() methods added in Python 3.3 to the built-in list class.

The case-insensitivity is achieved by matching any list values as their casefolded values. By default, the casefolding is performed with str.casefold() on Python 3 and with str.lower() on Python 2. The default casefolding can be overridden with a user-defined casefold method.
