texttransform

texttransform is a simple Python tool designed to:

• Convert sentences to uppercase or lowercase.
• Properly format sentences by capitalizing the first letter of each sentence and handling ellipses correctly.

This tool was developed as a learning exercise to explore how to package Python scripts into downloadable executables that others can use. Additionally, it’s a handy solution for those times when I accidentally type entire paragraphs in uppercase before realizing I've made a major text blunder.

You can find the package on PyPI here.
