What is the correct syntax to covert English characters from uppercase to

mystring = "THIS is A string"
newstring = ""
for item in mystring:
if item.isupper():
newstring += item.upper()
else:
newstring += item.lower()
print newstring
Thanks Bod,
This is most helpful.
In fact, your syntax allows me to now simplify my code.
