nit: to work well also for Unicode strings using arbitrary alphabets, 
you should use title() instead of upper().  a naive upper() will do the 
wrong thing in some cases, as can be seen in the following example:

 >>> u = u"\u01C9"
 >>> unicodedata.name(u)
'LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ'
 >>> unicodedata.name(u.upper())
'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ'
 >>> unicodedata.name(u.title())
'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J'
