Less pythonic:
__import__('sys').stdout.write(''.join(map(lambda x: chrord(x) -
ord('a')) + 13) % 26) + ord('a')), 'yvfc'))
More Pythonic:
print 'yvfc'.decode('rot13')

that's spelled
print yvfc.decode(rot-13)
or, if you prefer,
print yvfc.encode(rot-13)
, in contemporary python.

I'm not sure that being more comprehensible is considered a virtue in
