A simpler version would be:
>>> s = 'harry is a strange guy. so is his sister, but at least she is not a guy
. i am.'
>>> a = s.split('. ') # you can split at multicharacter strings
>>> b = (x.capitalize() for x in a) # you can use generator
expressions to generate lists
>>> '. '.join(b)
'Harry is a strange guy. So is his sister, but at least she is not a guy. I am.'

I believe you'll need re.split to accomplish that.
