I know you asked for a regex solution, but I thought I'd drop this suggestion
anyway (not everything really merits a regex) =)

>>> string1 = 'string with spaces'
>>> ''.join([s.title() for s in string1.split()])
'StringWithSpaces'

Clear, concise, and uses in the builtin str.title method, which appears to do
exactly what you want.
