I have problem in changing a string into uppercase with Python. In my research, I got string.ascii_uppercase but it doesn't work.

The following code:

 >>s = 'sdsd'
 >>s.ascii_uppercase

Gives this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'ascii_uppercase'

My question is: how can I convert a string into uppercase in Python?

>>> s.upper()
'SDSD'
