Why doesn't the python interpreter just return
['HI, 'BOSS'] ?
This isn't a big deal, but I am just curious as to why it does this.
You have to invoke s.upper, with parens:
k = [s.upper() for s in k]
In Python, a function or method is a first-class object, so "s.upper" is
a reference to the method, "s.upper()" is the result of calling the method.
