Encryption with Python?

On Sat, 7 May 2005 13:51:40 +0200, rumours say that "Anthra Norell"

can we suppose that the encrypted text above are the details of your
credit card (number, name as written on it, expiry date, billing address
and your first dog's name)?  Do you trust the 'unbreakability' of your
algorithm that much?
