I would like to put a comma before all words in title case. For that I tried with tokens:

text="Hey, I would like To Have a chocolate CAKE"
tokens=word_tokenize(text)
for word in tokens:
    if word.istitle():
          word="," + word

But nothing changes in tokens. Why?

Reassigning `word` **does not** affect `tokens`. Try `for index, word in enumerate(tokens):` then explicitly assign back to `tokens[index]`. – jonrsharpe Jun 18 '15 at 13:07
@jonrsharpe Hmm, let me see if I can find a better one, this is a common question. – Cory Kramer Jun 18 '15 at 13:11
That looks like a good one... by the power of Asgard!! – Cory Kramer Jun 18 '15 at 13:12
