Decapitalizes the first letter of a string.

Decapitalize the first letter of the string and then add it with rest of the string. Omit the upper_rest parameter to keep the rest of the string intact, or set it to True to convert to uppercase.

def decapitalize(str, upper_rest=False):
  return str[:1].lower() + (str[1:].upper() if upper_rest else str[1:])

decapitalize('FooBar') # 'fooBar'
decapitalize('FooBar', True) # 'fOOBAR'
