[issue43584] Doc description of str.title() upper case vs. title case.

New submission from Grant Edwards <grant.b.edwards@gmail.com>: The documentation for str.title() states that the first character in each world is converted to upper case. That is not correct for recent versions of Python. The first character in each word is converted to title case. Title and upper may be the same for English/ASCII, but other languages have characters for which upper and title case are different. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 389242 nosy: docs@python, grant.b.edwards priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Doc description of str.title() upper case vs. title case. versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43584> _______________________________________

I am not sure if Serhiy was referring to this doc change in https://bugs.python.org/issue36549#msg339570 ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka, xtreak _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43584> _______________________________________
