Case-insensitve search using PyKeePass

Question

I am using PyKeePass to programatically access a KeePass database. This code:

from pykeepass import PyKeePass

try:
    kp = PyKeePass("info.kdbx", password="12345")
except Exception, e:
    print "Got exception",e

lstEntry = kp.find_entries_by_notes(".*Chocolate.*",regex=True)
print lstEntry
print lstEntry[0].notes

prints:

[Entry: "Info/Chocolate (None)"]
Chocolate chips are a great invention

However, there is no way that I can get the result if I use "chocolate" instead of "Chocolate". I have tried the "i" modifier:

"/.*chocolate.*/i"
"(.*chocolate.*)i"

...without success. Any suggestions?

Thanks

From the PyKeePass documentation, the syntax is:

find_entries_by_notes (notes, regex=False, flags=None, tree=None, history=False, first=False)

where title, username, password, url, notes and path are strings. These functions have optional regex boolean and flags string arguments, which means to interpret the string as an XSLT style regular expression with flags.

Thus, you need to use the i-flag like this:

find_entries_by_notes(".*chocolate.*", regex=True, "i")
