Python title() with apostrophes

Question

Is there a way to use .title() to get the correct output from a title with apostrophes? For example:

\"john\'s school\".title() --> \"John\'S         


        

Answer 1

IMHO, best answer is @Frédéric's one. But if you already have your string separated to words, and you know how string.capwords is implemeted, then you can avoid unneeded joining step:

def capwords(s, sep=None):
    return (sep or ' ').join(
        x.capitalize() for x in s.split(sep)
    )

As a result, you can just do this:

# here my_words == ['word1', 'word2', ...]
s = ' '.join(word.capitalize() for word in my_words)
