I can't find it either, but this issue is different. I propose renaming
"String Methods" to "String, bytes and bytearray methods" and
str.capitalize()
bytes.capitalize()
bytearray.capitalize()
Return a copy of the string with its first character capitalized and the rest
lowercased. [Discuss Unicode vs bytes details.]
BTW, the "For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent." part is probably
out of date because bytes.capitalize() seems to pass non-ASCII bytes through:
>>> bytes([ord('è')]).capitalize()[0] == ord('è')
True
and for unicode strings the operation is *not* locale dependent.
