  from string import capwords 
  result = capwords(string)

This does the split/capitalize/join dance, all in one.

The file example you gave could also be turned into a dict comprehension if desired. I’m on mobile, but I think this would work.

  result = { f:os.path.getsize(f) for f in glob.glob(“*”) if os.path.isfile(f) }
