[Tutor] Tutor Digest, Vol 117, Issue 33[ Re: Ideas ? ]

[Satheesan Varier]

Need a little help with finding a process for this:

when a string of text is input, for example: abc def.
I want to have each letter shift to the right one place in the alphabet.
Thus..
abc def would be output as bcd efg.

Any ideas on how to do this?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you do not want to use the translate:

>>> s='abcdef ghijk lmn'
>>> k=''
>>> for char in s:
if char!=' ':
   k+=str(chr(ord(char)+1))
else:
   k+=' '

>>> k
'bcdefg hijkl mno'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to use translate:

>>> from string import maketrans
>>> your_alphabets = 'abcdefghijklmnopurstuvwzyz'
>>> my_alphabets='bcdefghijklmnopqystuvwxyza'
>>> s='Let us Test Your language !'

>>> s.translate(maketrans(your_alphabets, my_alphabets))
'Lfu vt Tftu Ypvs mbohvbhf !'

Note: my_alphabets to fine tune
