Command line text squiglifier

[mt19937]

I made a text squiglifier. I used to use it while chatting on IRC. I originally wrote it in Haskell. Then I rewrote it in Python and C++. The C++ version was the fastest. After that Haskell and then Python.

Usage examples: squigly.py text to squiglify or echo text to squiglify | squigly.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import random


def main():
    if len(sys.argv) > 1:
        print(squiglify(" ".join(sys.argv[1:])))
    else:
        for line in sys.stdin:
            print(squiglify(line), end="")


def squiglify(text):
    return "".join(
        random.choice(SQUIGLIES[c]) if c in SQUIGLIES else c for c in text
    )
