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).
The case-insensitivity is achieved by matching any key values as their casefolded values. By default, the casefolding is performed with str.casefold() for unicode string keys and with bytes.lower() for byte string keys. The default casefolding can be overridden with a user-defined casefold method.
