详解python中lower和upper函数的使用

今天遇到一点小问题，需要编写一个程序将list 中的无规则英文名按【首字母大写其余部分小写】的方式转换

一开始的思路是编写一个函数将每个名字字符串【str】进行处理，如何用map进行批处理

不得不说，大方向的思路是正确的，但在细节的处理上出了些问题

最开始我是这样写名字处理函数的：

[python] view plain copy
def change (name)  
    result = name[0].upper()  
    for a in name[1:len(name)]:  
        result = result + a.lower()

然后运行会报错

    tmp = chr(name[0])  
TypeError: an integer is required

试过几次后发现大致意思是对字符串的处理不能这么做，于是查了upper（）和lower()的用法，发现这两个函数就是直接作用于str的，所以根本不需要这么麻烦。

[python] view plain copy
# practice.py  
# Change the first char in every name from lower type to upper type  
  
def change (name):  
    result =  name[0:1].upper()+name[1:len(name)].lower()  
    return result  
  
name_list = ['kzd','ysy','kcw','scr','ky']  
name_li = map (change, name_list)  
print name_l

运行结果：

[python] view plain copy
E:\PythonFile>python practice.py  
['Kzd', 'Ysy', 'Kcw', 'Scr', 'Ky']

错误在于我企图对字符串中的元素进行赋值替换，这是不允许的。
