text = text.title()

OK i got all the first letters in capital, but i have them in between apostrophes '. I would like them to be without apostrophe. eg if the letters are NHJUI4G then have them as in the following format: N. H. J. U. I. 4. G.
how do i fix that please?

>>> my_list = ['N', 'H', 'J', 'U', 'I', '4', 'G']
>>> '.'.join(my_list)
'N.H.J.U.I.4.G'
>>>
