Python replacement for PHP's ucwords [ edit | history ]
There is no direct equivalent. However,
import string
result = string.capwords(myStr)
is similar. It turns the first letter of each word to uppercase and it turns all the rest of the letters to lowercase. So the above code is actually equivalent to:
<?php
$result = ucwords(strtolower($myStr));
?>
However, for most purposes, it should not make that much of a difference.

Another similar function is the title() method:
result = myStr.title()
It is the same as string.capwords(), except that it regards all non-alphabetic characters (including apostrophes) as word boundaries, instead of just whitespace.
