How can I capitalize the first letter of each word in a string

Question

s = 'the white pigeon'

...do something here...

s should be:

'The White Pigeon'

What's the easiest way to do this?

Answer 1

The .title() method of a string (either ASCII or Unicode) does this:

>>> "hello world".title()
'Hello World'
>>> u"hello world".title()
u'Hello World'

Do take care to look out for strings with embedded apostrophes,
