Here is a quick-and-dirty solution:
def capstring(buf):
    result = buf[0].capitalize()
    for i in range(1, len(buf)):
        if buf[i - 1] == ' ':
            result += buf[i].capitalize()
        else:
            result += buf[i]
    return result
buf = "saint john's"
cap = capstring(buf)
print buf
print cap
Or....!
str.title()
