Answer

This should work:

def make_cap(sentence):return " ".join(word[0].title() + (word[1:] if len(word) > 1 else "") for word in sentence.split(" "))

It manually splits the word by spaces (and not by any other character), and then capitalizes the first letter of each token. It does this by separating that first letter out, capitalizing it, and then concatenating the rest of the word. I used a ternary if statement to avoid an IndexError if the word is only one letter long.
