Python ROT13 converter / deconverter

convert.py

import string #fixed typo was using
text = str(input('tip your text to convert: ', ))
rot13 = string.maketrans( 
    "ABCDEFGHIJKLMabcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZnopqrstuvwxyz", 
    "NOPQRSTUVWXYZnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMabcdefghijklm")
string.translate(text, rot13)
# Example
# 'Hello World!
# 'Uryyb Jbeyq!

Just a comment, this code example above is for Python2.

In Python 3 there is no need (not possible) to import string with maketrans.
There the code could look like this:

text = str(input('tip your text to convert: ', ))
normalAlpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
rot13Alpha = "NOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklm"
text.translate(str.maketrans(normalAlpha,rot13Alpha))

@Michael-Schulze thanks for the heads-up.

Indeed this is an old gist not really updated since its creation and surely only compatible with python2.

I'll try to update it soon with your advices.

Thanks

Hi,

yes I know. I was searching for a similar thing and found your code and struggled a little bit with it. So I decided to give a comment, how to get it working.

@Michael-Schulze Much appreciated, thanks
