Hey /prog/

Is there a way to ignore casing when searching for a substring in a string in python?

is there a way
tolower() or its equivalent, if nothing else.
is there a better way
Probably, but I don't know Python. Read the API docs.

What I'm doing needs to return the original string I'm looking for in its original format. Not all lowercase, otherwise this would be easy.

You could save the indices.

Or you could read the standard library documentation.

Use tolower(), as str.find returns a position in the string.
So you can use str.find on the lowercased string, and then return what it really is using the original string.

Alright, I got it! Thanks /prog/

However, another question: How about ignoring punctuation without importing string and using string.punctuation()?
