I could write an "obvious" fix for your example, but I expect that it'd be unsatisfactory, since the real problem likely has a different solution.
It looks like you might want a little utility to transform key lookups to a standard. Web frameworks do stuff like that for mapping URLs to functions, to ignore case, etc.
You might be interested in learning about the ``dict.__missing__`` magic method.
