Convert UPPERCASE string to sentence case in Python

Question

How does one convert an uppercase string to proper sentence-case? Example string:

"OPERATOR FAIL TO PROPERLY REMOVE SOLID WASTE"

Using titlecase(str) gives me:

"Operator Fail to Properly Remove Solid Waste"

What I need is:

"Operator fail to properly remove solid waste"

Is there an easy way to do this?

Answer 1

Let's use an even more appropriate function for this: string.capitalize

>>> s="OPERATOR FAIL TO PROPERLY REMOVE SOLID WASTE"
>>> s.capitalize()
'Operator fail to properly remove solid waste'
