I'm not sure that being more comprehensible is considered a virtue in
this thread, /F. ;-)

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

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')

Ah! Or more easily, Edit / Apply ROT13. Thanks!
