Let's say you want to make every vowel uppercase:
import string
trans_table = string.maketrans('aeiou', 'AEIOU')
"I don't know, but can be this feature included into".translate(trans_table)
prints:
"I dOn't knOw, bUt cAn bE thIs fEAtUrE InclUdEd IntO"
That more than addresses your requirements, as it can do multiple
character substitutions multiple times in one call.
