Re: Need help to convert a name in upper case, to mixed case

Small note for those learning Python: This is fine, and works, and is
easy to follow, but it's not idiomatic:

import sys

parms = sys.argv
parms.pop(0)

return_value = ""
try:
for parm in parms:
return_value += parm.capitalize() + " "
except:
return_value = "Error"

print(return_value.rstrip())

Folks who have been using Python for a while would more likely write
it like this:

import sys

print(' '.join(sys.argv[1:]).title())
