Ok, for those who have gotten as far as level 2 (don't laugh!), I have a question. I did the translation as such:
import string alphabet = string.lowercase[:26] code = string.lowercase[2:26] + 'ab' clue = "g fmnc wms bgblr rpylqjyrc gr zw fylb. rfyrq ufyr amknsrcpq ypc dmp. bmgle gr gl zw fylb gq glcddgagclr ylb rfyr'q ufw rfgq rcvr gq qm jmle. sqgle qrpgle.kyicrpylq() gq pcamkkclbcb. lmu ynnjw ml rfc spj." trans = string.maketrans(alphabet, code) clue = clue.translate(trans) print clue raw_input() It works, but is there a better way to shift the letters of the alphabet for 'code'? I remember a method that did this for lists, I think, but I can't remember what it was or if it worked for strings. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
