make case-insensitive tags with django-taggit

Question

I added tags = TaggableManager(blank=True) to my models, but I want my tags to be case-insensitive. I saw some snippets of work arounds for this and wanted to ask if there is an easy way to do it? If I have to override some methods from the TaggableManager, please advise how can I do that?

Thanks in advance, Arshavski Alexander.

Answer 1

I am sure you have figured out solution by now :) Though I will put the answer as someone might hit this while searching -

Use https://github.com/shacker/django-taggit version of django-taggit.

It allows to configure TAGGIT_FORCE_LOWERCASE = True

It also allows you to filter stop words.
