o-sari / turkish-string

Python module for solving Turkish character problems when using string methods upper(), lower(), capitalize() and title()

turkish-string

Provides alternative string methods to Python's built-in upper(), lower(), capitalize() and title() that work for turkish characters.

Description

While working with Turkish strings some of the Python's built-in string methods does not work as expected. Especially Turkish characters İ, I, i and ı won't correctly be translated to lower and upper case versions.

turkish-string package provides alternative methods that solve this problem.

Requirements

This package is tested with Python>=3.8 versions.
