Case insensitive dictionary

Question

I\'d like my dictionary to be case insensitive.

I have this example code:

text = \"practice changing the color\"

words = {\'color\': \'colour\',
            


        

Answer 1

While a case insensitive dictionary is a solution, and there are answers to how to achieve that, there is a possibly easier way in this case. A case insensitive search is sufficient:

import re

text = "Practice changing the Color"
words = {'color': 'colour', 'practice': 'practise'}

def replace(words,text):
        keys = words.keys()
        for i in keys:
                exp = re.compile(i, re.I)
                text = re.sub(exp, words[i], text)
        return text

text = replace(words,text)
print text
