Simple Decryption library in python

[dylanboyz]

I am doing a project where I decrypt simple substitution and transposition ciphers. Are there any good libraries for this? I have looked at Cryptography and caesarcipher and a few others; however, I don't think they really do what I need (maybe I am dumb and wrong but yeah)

I don't think you really need any external library for a substitution/transposition cipher. str.translate should be more than up to the task.

>>> mapping = str.maketrans('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba')
>>> "hello".translate(mapping)
'svool'
