New submission from Bob Helmbold:
Summary: "title" method of string objects does not
handle contractions and possessives correctly.
See the following short program and its results for examples.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"""
Test of string method 'capitalize'
"""
stringList=["we're",
"you're",
"they're",
"i've",
"we've",
"you've",
"they've",
"can't",
"won't",
"doesn't",
"haven't",
"daren't",
"shouldn't",
"weren't",
"wasn't",
"i'm"
]
for item in stringList:
n=len(item)
spaces=' '*(12-n)
itemTitled = item.title()
isATitle = itemTitled.istitle()
print "%s -> %s%s is title=%s" %(item, spaces, itemTitled, isATitle)
