Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Documentation
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Summary: Error in rotor module documentation

Details: A minor error in the description of the "decrypt" and "decryptmore" methods in the rotor module documentation :

decrypt (ciphertext) 
     Reset the rotor object to its initial state and decrypt ciphertext, returning a string containing the ciphertext. The plaintext string will always be the same length as the ciphertext. 

decryptmore (ciphertext) 
     Decrypt ciphertext without resetting the rotor object, and return a string containing the ciphertext. 

In both cases the returned string is the *clear text*, not the *ciphertext* (fortunately enough :-)
