Inspired by something Peter Hosey did. Converts text to small caps unicode glyphs.

    caps = []
    for char in list(line):
        caps.append(convert_char(char))
    return u''.join(caps)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    for line in fileinput.input():
        caps = convert_line(line.rstrip(u'\n'))
        print caps.encode('utf8')
