Caesar’s Cipher using python, could use a little help

by

I like kaizer.se’s answer, but I think I can simplify it using the string.maketrans function:

import string

first = raw_input("Please enter Plaintext to Cipher: ")
k = int(raw_input("Please enter the shift: "))

shifted_lowercase = ascii_lowercase[k:] + ascii_lowercase[:k]

translation_table = maketrans(ascii_lowercase, shifted_lowercase)

print first.translate(translation_table)
