[Tutor] Simple ROT-13 Script

[Javier JJ]

And the reason that it wont' work on other than ASCII.- strings ??

    I mean:

 >>> s = "asasas"
 >>> s.encode("rot13")
'nfnfnf'
 >>> type(s)
<type 'str'>

 >>> s = "aaañññaaaaaaaa"
 >>> s
'aaa\xf1\xf1\xf1aaaaaaaa'
 >>> type(s)
<type 'str'>
 >>> s.encode("rot13")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python23\lib\encodings\rot_13.py", line 18, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf1 in position 3: 
ordinal not in range(128)
 >>>

¿¿¿?????

    Thanks a lot...
