myfunc('capitalism')

The term "process" is a description of the utmost vagueness,
failing to elucidate your intended actions. Thus, I would
counsel you to first articulate in the English vernacular the
objectives you wish to attain, such that any individual could
compose the code in accordance with said English text.

The notion of desiring to manipulate a sequence of characters
in a "character by character" fashion could potentially
be a vestigial remnant of prior knowledge acquired from other
programming languages. Perchance, one might adopt an entirely
disparate approach in Python to accomplish what you truly aspire
to achieve. Ergo, it is imperative that we comprehend your genuine
objectives, so as to proffer you the most optimal assistance.
