Write a Python program that creates upside down sentences, like
upside down --> umop apisdn

The sentence above is flipped 180 degrees around the end.
Some freedom allowed, like an 'a' upside down and reversed is the closest thing to an 'e'. Conversely a 'w' would be a 'm' upside down.

Note:
A silly little thing originally in "Beginners Projects". I moved it here because Tony had such a nice solution.

TrustyTony commented: Unclear, if not wrong, rule of request +0

I do not understand the rule:

for c in 'umop apisdn':
	print c,'upside down'.find(c)
	
u 0
m -1
o 8
p 1
  6
a -1
p 1
i 3
s 2
d 4
n 10

So 'm' and 'a' is not in other string at all.

Well corrected description, here is little advanced beginners answer with conditional value ('*' if letter is not found in upside down letter dictionary)

##upside down --> umop apisdn
def upside(instring):
    upside_dict = {'u':'n','n':'u',
                   'p':'d','d':'p',
                   's':'s',' ':' ',
                   'o':'o','i':'i',
                   'h':'y', 'y':'h',
                   'a':'e', 'e':'a',
                   'w':'m','m':'w',
                   '6':'9','9':'6', '1':'1','0':'0',
                   }
    return ''.join([(upside_dict[char] if char in upside_dict else '*') for char in instring[::-1]])


for instring in ('upside down','daniweb'):

    print instring,'->',upside(instring)

Maybe it is not proper to post code here as answer? Sorry about above post, but I felt compelled to post it after my request for clarification. You can remove it and the request.

Note:
Thanks for spending some time with this! Moved it to the regular forum.
