New submission from Nick Devenish <n.e.deven...@sussex.ac.uk>:
str.title() capitalizes the first letter after an apostrophe:
>>> "This isn't right".title()
"This Isn'T Right"
The library function string.capwords, which appears to have exactly the
same responsibility, doesn't exhibit this behavior:
>>> string.capwords("This isn't right")
"This Isn't Right"
Tested on 2.6.2 on Mac OS X
