Python 2.7 string methods

Question

Good day! As you already understood, the problem with the manipulation of text output. I perform a test task in Python 2.7.

quote = "Думаю, на мировом рынке можно будет продать штук пять компьютеров." print("Исходная цитата: ") print(quote) print("\nОна же в верхнем регистре: ") print(quote.upper()) print("\nВ нижнем регистре: ") print(quote.lower()) print("\nКак заголовок: ") print(quote.title()) print("\nС маленькой заменой: ") print(quote.replace("штук пять", "Несколько миллионов")) print("\nСнова исходная цитата: ") print(quote) raw_input("\nНажмите Enter, чтобы выйти из программы.")

When you start the text output for each option is the same. What is the problem? Thank you in advance for your response.

Your string is not Unicode. If you want to use Python 2.7, you can add "u" before the quotes, or use the unicode_literals as described above.

 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- quote = u"Думаю, на мировом рынке можно будет продать штук пять компьютеров." print(u"Исходная цитата: ") print(quote) print(u"\nОна же в верхнем регистре: ") print(quote.upper()) print(u"\nВ нижнем регистре: ") print(quote.lower()) print(u"\nКак заголовок: ") print(quote.title()) print(u"\nС маленькой заменой: ") print(quote.replace(u"штук пять", u"Несколько миллионов")) print(u"\nСнова исходная цитата: ") print(quote)

I apologize, threw off the code without a cap. Always add encoding. The question is closed. Thanks again to everyone! - Alexander Sergeev

The problem is that you are trying to execute Python 3 code on the python2 interpreter.

To fix it, you need to turn the constants into Unicode and declare the source code encoding:

 #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from __future__ import unicode_literals # здесь ваш код без изменений

Otherwise, you call .lower() , .upper() , etc for bytes, which may return incorrect results, as you have seen. To work with text, use Unicode:

 >>> print b'я'.upper() #XXX DO NOT DO IT я >>> print u'я'.upper() Я
