This code takes a string a cyphers it by shifting it's position in the alphabet. I've gotten it so it can pretty much take paragraphs. It's quite neat to play with.
For example the above when shifted to 5, would be:
Ymnx htij yfpjx f xywnsl f hDumjwx ny gD xmnkynsl ny,x utxnynts ns ymj fqumfgjy= N,Aj ltyyjs ny xt ny hfs uwjyyD rzhm yfpj ufwflwfumx= Ny,x vznyj sjfy yt uqfD Bnym=

A caeser cypher with a shift of 13 is known as ROT13 just incase you didn't know that and it's the easiest cypher I know of to code besides an XOR

Removed [ code][ inlinecode] ... [ /inlinecode][ /code] tags.
Note, you could use
letters = string.ascii_letters + string.punctuation + string.digits

letters = string.ascii_letters + string.punctuation + string.digits
