String comparisons

[psychofish25]

I am making a program that requires me to test whether a certain character in a string is capital. I was wondering if there was anyway I could do this like:

string is A-Z

That would determine whether the string is any letter from A to Z

[code=python]
>>> import string
>>> 'g' in string.lowercas e
True
>>> 'D' in string.lowercas e
False
[/code]

[code=python]
>>> import string
>>> 'g' in string.lowercas e
True
>>> 'D' in string.lowercas e
False
[/code]

Okay thanks, but is there a way to determine whether a letter is a vowel or not?
kinda like string=['a','e','i','o' ,'u']

Well...
[code=python]
>>> vowels = "aeiou"
>>> 'e' in vowels
True
>>> 'f' in vowels
False
[/code]

[code=python]
>>> vowels = "aeiou"
>>> 'e' in vowels
True
>>> 'f' in vowels
False
[/code]

Okay that makes sense now. But is there anyway to make it like a to z without typing each letter?

[CODE=python]

True

Okay excellent, thanks.

[ghostdog74]

>>> "B".isupper()
True
>>> "b".isupper()
False
>>>

[bartonc]

>>> "B".isupper()
True
>>> "b".isupper()
False
>>>

Thanks, GD. Strings do have quite a few handy methods hung on them.
I also meant to point out that the string module is useful for the constants defined there, but the functions which are now string methods should not be used.
