Fun with Python’s “import this”

Everyone knows that when you perform import this, in your Python script, you get a printout of The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters.

However, what else is there in the this module?

>>> import this

It looks like The Zen of Python text is stored in the module as this.s in ROT-13 encrypted form. The table for decoding this text is stored in this.d.

What is the most Pythonic way to decode the text in this.s?

1. Loop over the characters in this.s:

   [something(c) for c in this.s]

2. Decode c if it is encoded (is in the this.d dictionary):

   [(this.d[c] if c in this.d else c) for c in this.s]

3. The result of the comprehension is a list of characters. Make a string out of it:

   ''.join([(this.d[c] if c in this.d else c) for c in this.s])

4. Now, print the result:

   print(''.join([(this.d[c] if c in this.d else c) for c in this.s]))

That’s all, folks!
