Python replacement for PHP's ucfirst [ edit | history ]
There is no direct equivalent. However, 
result = myStr.capitalize()

is similar. It turns the first letter to uppercase and it turns all the rest of the letters to lowercase. So the above code is actually equivalent to: 
<?php
$result = ucfirst(strtolower($myStr));
?>

However, for most purposes, it should not make that much of a difference.

If you wanted an exact equivalent, you would use: 
result = myStr[0].upper() + myStr[1:]
