To amplify Luke's and others' questions - we need a lot more 
information, and at this point in the process it seems painfully slow to 
extract it from you. If you want our help please tell us:
1) how much programming experience you have.
2) how new to Python are you.
3) why do you want to solve this problem in Python?
4) what can you apply from other languages you know (you refer to Java 
and C++) to this problem
5) have you written any Python code toward solving this problem?
6) do you need help in how to do string substitutions? how to randomly 
generate names? how to store persistently and retrieve mappings of real 
to anonymous addresses?
7) anything else you can tell us so we can give specific help.
