Python 2.7 compatibility? #1

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Why we must use Python 3 to use this script?

Is it because of print function in vigenere3.py? I see there is code like 'print('Possible letters for letter %s of the key: ' % (i + 1), end='')' which is not a valid syntax for Python 2.7 (end = '' not treated as an argument). Actually we can create a custom printf function that work just like the code before (in both Python 2.7 and 3).

Is there any other issues regarding of Python 3?

When I developed this tool, I think Py3 is very good for the future... for print function, I think there are various differences between Py3 and Py2. Because the Py2 has not been so flexible in byte translation and I want avoid the use of struct module.

So, basically if we want to use this script with Python 2.7 we only need to tweak the print function in vigenere3.py and there is no any functionality issues if we use Python 2.7?

Nice script btw. I will use this for my next cryptanalysis :+1:
