I am having trouble doing the following problem print alternating case (PyThOn) here is my code

word = str(input("Please choose a word: "))
lengthOfWord = len(word)
every2ndLetter = word[1:lengthOfWord:2]
every1stLetter = word[0:lengthOfWord:2]
for char in range(lengthOfWord):
    w = every1stLetter[::1]
    o = every2ndLetter[::1]
    w = list(w)
    o = list(o)
    word = w.insert(1,o)
print(str(word))

this only one of my tries I am trying to do it using basic python only please help

word = 'python'
altered = []
for index, letter in enumerate(word):
    if index%2 == 0:
        altered.append(letter.upper())
    else:
        altered.append(letter)
        
print(''.join(altered))

@menator01, what about if word = 'pyTHOn'

word = input("Please choose a word: ").lower()
new_word = ''.join(
    w.upper() if i % 2 == 0 else w
    for i, w in enumerate(word)
)
print(new_word)
