How does Python convert to proper case MCDONALD or MACDONALD, etal.?
The code I gave out we use and we know that it has this limitation.
Well, any code in any language to deal with English capitalization of proper names is going to need a dictionary structure of some sort. Python presents such structures, which you'll need to populate and create/borrow some code that looks 'em up.
There's no algorithm other than dictionary lookup that's going to distinguish between the separate cases of
MacDonald
versus
Mackenzie
Plus, the tool I sent gives me the ability to wrap it in an external
SQL procedure. How would Python accomplish this?
