How do I convert only specific parts of a string to uppercase in Python?

Question

So I am writing a function that takes in a string input (ex: abcdefg) and a shorter portion of that input (ex: cde) and searches for it within the first longer string.

How do I make it so that only that second portion is capitalized in the first string?

Ex:

Input 1: abcdefg
Input 2: cde
abCDEfg

have you tried something?

def foo(str1, str2): return str1.replace(str2, str2.upper())

>>> a = "abcdefg" >>> b = "cde" >>> c = b.upper() >>> a.replace(b,c) 'abCDEfg'
