Hello, I am new to python.
Here is what I wrote.
my lower() function does not work and it can not take capital letters.

def func3():
	alphabets = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k',
'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y',
'z']
	i = input("Press any English alphabet: ")
	i.strip().lower()
	current = alphabets.index(i)
	print("current index value: ", current)
	next = (current + 1) % 26
	print("next index value: ", next)
	print("The next letter is...", alphabets[next])
