Not according to the docs. The doc states that .title() converts the first character characger in each "word" to _upper_ case. Is the doc wrong? If you want titlecase, then you should call str.capitalize() which (again according to the doc) converts the first character to _title_ case (starting in v3.8). -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
