The code that in this.py is a terrible advert for Python though. 
It does:
   d = {}
   for c in (65, 97):
       for i in range(26):
           d[chr(i+c)] = chr((i+13) % 26 + c)

   print "".join([d.get(c, c) for c in s])

when all it actually needs is:
   print s.decode('rot13')

Patch submitted to sourceforge.
