python - better way to invert case of string

Question

I am learning python and meet an exercise:

Strings. Create a function that will return another string similar to the input string, but with its case inverted. For example, input of "Mr. Ed" will result in "mR. eD" as the output string.

My Code is:

name = 'Mr.Ed'
name_list = []

for i in name:
    if i.isupper():
        name_list.append(i.lower())
    elif i.islower():
        name_list.append(i.upper())
    else:
        name_list.append(i)

print ''.join(name_list)

Is there any better way to solve it? My solution seems strange.

Answer 1

You can do that with name.swapcase(). Lookup the string methods.
