I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "considering the fact that not all letters are indeed English letters"; you could mean you don't care about the non-english characters, or you could mean you don't want any non-english characters at all (so the function should return False in that case). If the case is the former, there's a simple test for each: >>> word = 'hi' >>> word.upper() == word # evaluates to True if the word is all caps False >>> word.lower() == word # evaluates to True if the word is all lowercase True >>> word.title() == word # evaluates to True if the word is in a title format False >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
