Python and capital letters

[menator]

I seem to be having trouble figuring out where to use the capitalize function in my code; any help would be great!

 

import MySQLdb


# Connect to the database
try:
    db = MySQLdb.connect(host="xxxxx", db="xxxxx", user="xxxxx", passwd="xxxxx")

except MySQLdb.Error, e:
    print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0], e.args[1])
    sys.exit(1)


def mycats(alive=""):
    c = db.cursor()
    if(alive != "a" and alive != "d"):
        c.execute("select name from cats")
    else:
        if(alive == "a"):
            alive = "yes"
        if(alive == "d"):
            alive = "no"
        c.execute("select name from cats where alive = \"%s\"" % (alive))

    
    names = c.fetchall()
    for name in names:
        print "%s" % (name)
        
alive = ""
while alive != "e":
    print "To view cats:\n \
a = alive, d = dead, and all = all.\n \
To exit type in e"
    alive = raw_input(": ")
    if(alive != "a" and alive != "d" and alive != "all" and alive != "e"):
        print""
        print""
        print "Only valid entries are\n a = \"alive\" \n d = \"deceased\" \n all = \"all\" \n e = \"exit\""
        print ""
        continue
    if(alive =="e"):
        print "Goodbye!"
        break
    else:
        print ""
        if(alive == "a"):
            print "My cats that are alive\n"
        elif(alive == "d"):
            print "My cats that are deceased\n"
        else:
            print "This is all of my cats that are alive and dead\n"
        mycats(alive)
        print ""
        print""

Had to change the tuple to a list to get it to work

 

names = c.fetchall()
    Mylist = []
    for name in names:
        Mylist.append("%s" % (name))

    for pet in Mylist:
        print pet.capitalize()
