Yes, this was the topic of PEP 235 (Import on Case-Insensitive Platforms),
implemented for Python 2.1.  See

    http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0235.html

for the full story.  If for some reason you can't, or don't want to, use
matching case, you'll have to set the envar PYTHONCASEOK (to anything --
just so long as it's defined).
