Terry, thanks.
Sadly, I'm still missing something.
I've tried all the aliases in locale.py, most return
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
one that doesn't is:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ('fr_fr'))
'fr_fr'
but if I set it thus it returns:
Angoul?äMe, Angoumois.

I think setting the locale is the trick:
>>> s1 = open("text.txt").readlin
Dear All,
I have some utf-8 unicode text with lines like this:
ANVERS-LE-HOMONT, Maine.
ANGOULÊME, Angoumois.
ANDELY (le Petit), Normandie.
which I'm using as-is in this line of code:
place.append(line.strip())
What I would prefer would be something like this:
place.append(line.title().strip
