With your definition of "Word character" above, yes, that's right. Marks won't start a word, though. As for terminology: I think the documentation should continue to speak about "words" and "letters", and then define what is meant in this context. It's not that the Unicode consortium invented the term "letter", so we should use it more liberally than just referring to the L* categories. ---------- title: str.title() is overzealous by upcasing combining marks inappropriately -> str.title() is overzealous by upcasing combining marks inappropriately _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12737> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
