Case insensitive list remove call

Luke Plant April 11, 2006 Reply

The following (based on a guess about how list.remove() might work) is perhaps a nicer solution:

class CaseInsensitiveString(object):
... def __init__(self, s):
....... self.s = s
... def __cmp__(self, other):
....... return cmp(self.s.lower(), other.lower())

L = list('ABC')
L.remove(CaseInsensitiveString("c"))
