I doubt it. Why would you want to do that, anyway?

I'm sure you could if you messed with the source code, but it would take a hell of a lot of work. Get used to case sensitive, it makes life orginized

u did answer my other question with the
if a == "ball" or a == "cat"
that was an example, but i had a program were it would ask you yes or no
and i wanted it to except "yes" and "Yes" and respond the same thing without having to type each one out indevidualy

Ah... that's not making Python case-sensitive - that's making your program case sensitive. To do it, just convert it to lowercase, and test it like that:

(Toggle Plain Text)

import string # this makes your program include the string functions

a = string.lower(raw_input("Type either ball, cat, dog, or eat:"))
