@Tom Watson: Have a look at Christian Metts’ Typogrify library. He recently added support for Titlecase.py.

@James: It’s not quite that simple as lowering all of the text at input is likely to break quite a lot of tests as some of the functionality takes into account the case of the input.

However you do have a point that a few of the test cases had the same input as the expected output and in the process of addressing that I found a small bug where a special quote was missing from the punct regex.

I’ve updated the tests, cleaned up the code and released it as version 0.2.

Thanks for your comment — it was definitely a worthwile observation!

I’m somewhat of a novice but I seem to observe that the tests pass because the inputs are already in title case. If i add text=text.lower() at the start of the function the test cases fail.

Very cool! Do you know of a Django filter version of this script anywhere?
