%title{ } Capitalize after apostrophe

[ghost]

Problem

When you add %title{} to something for example %title{$title}, the capitalization is also done after an apostrophe, leading to some weird capitalization like "Can'T" "Don'T" "I'M" ...

Example :

"50 Cent - If I Can't" become "50 Cent - If I Can'T"

Setup

• OS: Arch Linux
• Python version: Latest
• beets version: Latest
• Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): N/A

Good point! This could be smarter than Python’s built-in str.title, especially when it comes to Unicode. This would be a good first issue for anyone getting into hacking on beets.

Looks like replacing it with capwords should do it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8199981/2664985

Awesome; good find, @jackwilsdon. Do you know whether it works with Unicode punctuation like ‘’?

Looks like it works as expected 👍

>>> import string
>>> string.capwords("Testing the q‘uote’s", " ")
'Testing The Q‘uote’s'
