Not sure what your output should look like but something like this could work: >>> import re >>> re.sub(r'([A-Z])', r' \1', 'theFirstTest theSecondTest') 'the First Test the Second Test' This can be adapted for multiline, etc, but maybe '[A-Z]' is sufficiently general. The regex module does have an understanding of unicode (but I don't, sorry); you could add (?u) make it unicode aware. For programming language identifiers I wouldn't think that unicode should be an issue. Sorry I'm no help with unicode specifics.
