 "print" is a function from python 3.0. Change this to,
 print (str.translate(trantab))

 And you don't need semi-colons in Python. Semi-colons
 are used only to separate 2 expressions in the same line.
 Something like

 x=2; print x

 Here they are superfluous.

 And I think "outtab" should be a dict, not string... but I am not sure.
