Can someone tell me what's happening here. This is my code:
PUNCT_SPACE_SET = set(string.punctuation + string.whitespace)
def filter_letters(original):
return ''.join(set(original) - PUNCT_SPACE_SET)
'original' is a string. The above works as expected, but when I change
it to

You call filter_letters() which makes upper() on all letters, so
original_letters contain only uppercase letters.
new_letters = list(string.ascii_uppercase)

And here you're translating 'original' (which contains a lot of
lowercase letters) with use of trans_table that maps only uppercase
characters. This return should be:
return original.upper().translate(trans_table)
Thank you!!! :)

Some code, with a request to get case working.
Others have shown you where the bug was.
You might want to change encrypt_quote like this:
XXX def encrypt_quote(original):
def encrypt_quote(original, casemap=True):
XXX original_letters = filter_letters(original)

Now, I know the actual upper() function works, but I can't understand
if there's a problem with *when* it's being called, or what's being
done with it to get the second result above.
