FoxPro ignores case, http ignores case (e.g. wWW.PYthon.ORg works fine). Note that "case insensitive" doesn't mean the *human reader* has to ignore case, e.g. I might use all caps for a constant, even though the engine I'm using doesn't give a rip. Another example: the Windows file systems: FAT32 or NTFS. \MyDocuments and \mydocuments are the same location, but users still get to choose a preferred style (a style unenforced by the OS). Python had the choice to be case insensitive and in some parallel universe maybe it is. It wouldn't have been a lesser language, just a slightly different one.
