Here's a case-insensitive string comparison using a \keyword{lambda} function:
\begin{verbatim}
>>> import string
>>> a = string.split("This is a test string from Andrew.")
>>> a.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(string.lower(x), string.lower(y)))
>>> a = "This is a test string from Andrew".split()
>>> a.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(x.lower(), y.lower()))
>>> print a
['a', 'Andrew.', 'from', 'is', 'string', 'test', 'This']
['a', 'Andrew', 'from', 'is', 'string', 'test', 'This']
\end{verbatim}
This goes through the overhead of converting a word to lower case
