The documentation for str.title() states that the first character in each world is converted to upper case. That is not correct for recent versions of Python. The first character in each word is converted to title case. Title and upper may be the same for English/ASCII, but other languages have characters for which upper and title case are different.

There was recent change to str.capitalize. I am not sure if Serhiy was referring to this doc change in https://bugs.python.org/issue36549#msg339570
