ty. that was the decrypt function. i am slo writing an encrypt
function.

def encrypt(phrase):
    pattern =
re.compile(r"([bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ])")
    return pattern.sub(r"1\o\1", phrase)

doesnt work though, h becomes 1\\oh.


def encrypt(phrase):
    pattern =
re.compile(r"([bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ])")
    return pattern.sub(r"o\1", phrase)
