Kunda asked me to write a script that would scramble the text in a document for privacy reasons.
It seemed that ideally such a script should retain the structure of the original as far as styles, linespacing, and so on, and since this wasn't an exercise in sending a secret message that could be deciphered, no set conversion algorithm should be used. So I began with the character-by-character analytical feature of en+emdash.py, but instead of just looking for hyphens, modified to look for all letters a-z and A-Z. Using the python random module, it's easy to repeatedly generate random letters of the alphabet to replace the originals. So far I have failed to get this to work on an entire document, but am able to make it work on all the frames on a page. http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Scrambling_Text Greg
