Description

Example admin.py:

from models import MyModel
from django.contrib import admin

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name', 'my_custom_method', )
    
    def my_custom_method(self, instance):
        return 'custom text'

    my_custom_method.short_description = ''

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

Descripion

This admin classes changelist seems to throw a TemplateSyntaxError when trying to prettify the short description (which I'd have thought shouldn't really be happening; the point of short description in this context is to customise the column header, which by default is created by prettifying the function name)

The full traceback is

I've attached just a simple patch that uses string's method capitalize() instead.
