'CapWord' is a single word so string.capwords() works as documented:

    Split the argument into words using str.split(), capitalize each word
    using str.capitalize(), and join the capitalized words using str.join().

You can also see this in the REPL:

    >>> "CapWord".split()
    ['CapWord']
    >>> _[0].capitalize()  # '_' is a shortcut for the latest command
    'Capword'
