Does word conversion with upper () string not work for certain letters?

Question

Hi guys, I hope you can help me with this problem, I have a watch trying to solve it.

Using this code:

#!/usr/bin/python # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- frase = 'La canción de la piña' print frase.upper() 

I just get "LA CANCIóN DE LA PIñA", the problem is that it does not turn "ñ" into "Ñ" or "ó" into "Ó"

Any idea?

Answer 1

Use a Unicode literal (a string literal with leading u ) to represent a unicode string:

 >>> frase = u'La canción de la piña' >>> print frase.upper() LA CANCIÓN DE LA PIÑA 

UPDATE

Adding the next line at the beginning of the file includes automatic literals in Unicode format. (In the interactive shell, statements will depend on import operators.)

 from __future__ import unicode_literals 

See __future__ definitions of future statements .

Answer 2

Unicode Literal:

Try the following:

frase = u'La canción de la piña '
