str.title() fails with words containing apostrophes

I'm trying to convert strings to Title Case, but getting ugly results if the
words contain an apostrophe:


py> 'hello world'.title()  # okay
'Hello World'
py> "i can't be having with this".title()  # not okay
"I Can'T Be Having With This"


Anyone have any suggestions for working around this?
