Content
The string module, however, fails to properly capitalize anything in quotes: >>> string.capwords("i pity the 'foo'.") "I Pity The 'foo'." The string module could be easily made to work like the object. The object could be made to work more like the module, only capitalizing things after a space and the start of the string, but I'm not really sure that it's any better. (The s.istitle() should also be updated if s.title() is changed.) The inconsistency is pretty nasty, though, and the documentation should probably be more specific about what's going on.
