My Python's not very good. For a perl version, check out
Catalyst::Plugin::Acme::Scramble. (It's mentioned in chapter 4 of
"The Definitive Guide to Catalyst".) Looks like it produces similar
output anyway.

Not sure, but I suspect it wouldn't be possible to do accurately in a
completely automated fashion. (At least until software is capable of
understanding context and semantics in natural languages.) A simple
program juggling letters around and referencing lookup tables could
probably make some "educated" guesses though.
$0.02 of course. :-)
