Is there any way by which configParser's get() function can be made
case insensitive?

If you don't care about the case of the config parameter values, you
could pre-convert the input to
configParser all in UPPER or lower letter with a file-like object like
this (NOT TESTED):

class AllUpperFile(object):
def __init__(self, fname): self.fp = file(fname)
def readline(self): return self.fp.readline().upper()

and the use configParser.readfp method to feed the file-like object to
the config parser

myConfigparser.readfp( AllUpperFile("myconnfigfile.cfg")

I would probably subclass dict to create a string specific, case
insensitive version, and supply it as the dict_type. See
http://docs.python.org/library/confi...awConfigParser

That way your values would remain cased correctly, but lookups would
be insensitive.
