Just to confirm, there is no "scrambling key", hence no "de-scrambling key" either. Every alpha-character is scrambled independently of every other alpha-character. So unless anyone strongly suspects that the Python
random module isn't really random then I don't think that should be a problem, but I don't have any cryptography skills
At the moment punctuation, spaces and digits 0-9 are left unscrambled.
In addition, every alpha-character retains its upper/lower case, so that paragraphs and word-wrapping look "realistic" ... but possibly Klingon-esque.
