Thanks to the helpfulness of the python community, I've made a decision on how I wish to solve this problem. I decided to go ahead and pre-format my dictionary's keys to lowercase, and leave the values untouched (Case-retained). This way, any comparisons I perform will always be on lowercase (case insensitive) keys. All I have to do is call lower() on the value I'll be comparing against the keys. Thanks to everyone that helped. Apologies for the flame war that started!
