Creating copy string in Python via scrolling

Question

I'm trying to scroll through one string and add each character to another string to create a new string.

I have the following function

def rocConvert(self, s):
    newString = ""
    for c in s:
        if c.isupper():
            newString += c
        elif c.islower():
            newString += c
        else:
            newString += c

    return newString

For some reason this is only returning the first char of s. Note, I realize my method is kind of weird for just copying: my end function willl actually be changing the value if it's a lower or upper case character.

Why is this only returning the first character of s?

I am receiving the entire input string as a return using your unaltered code in Python 2.7.4 console — Dave Lasley

Try running your code using -tt, i.e. python -tt your_program_name.py. Possibly there's a mixed tabs-and-spaces issue, so your return is actually indented inside the for loop, even though it may not look like it. — DSM

Indentation bug. Your return has two tabs in front of it in what you've posted. DSM's -tt suggestion is good.
