Did not understand what you meant by inbuilt validate function. There is
nothing like that in Python.
>>> s='Python'
>>> s.validate
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'validate'
>>> validate
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'validate' is not defined

Use a regular expression. For example, the following does the job for
matching a string with space in between 2 words.
>>> import re
>>> r=re.compile(r'\w+\s+\w+', re.IGNORECASE|re.LOCALE)
>>> r.match('PythonIndia')
>>> r.match('Python India')
