I have been updating an old (from 1999) Python script to Python 3. Occasionally I have found regex.casefold. It is typically used in something like:

some_var = regex.compile(pattern, regex.casefold)

How would I go about changing this so it works in the latest Python 3?

you can still use re.compile .. simply add `re.I` or inline the case insesitivity in your pattern: `r'(?i)+pattern` – Patrick Artner Jan 24 '19 at 15:51
