python字符串比较大小,如何在Python中进行不区分大小写的字符串比较？

What's the best way to do case insensitive string comparison in Python?

I would like to encapsulate comparison of a regular strings to a repository string using in a very simple and pythonic way. I also would like to have ability to look up values in a dict hashed by strings using regular python strings. Much obliged for advice.

Assuming ASCII strings:

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)"
