Oops, I probably should have tried searching the list first. My background is strictly academic. I was switching languages so often I never got really familiar with any of them. Maybe C for a while, but I've forgotten alot. I'm hoping python will be the last language I ever need. :) I don't know why I didn't turn to dictionaries first. It does seem to be the obvious solution.
I'm writing a program that will take substitution and transposition cipher texts and spit out plain text with no human input. So I suppose I'll have dictionaries of digraphs and trigraphs too; for frequency analysis. Do you think this is to heavy of a project to learn the language?
