Eliza aka therapist facelift

I finally modernized this code. It is very primitive, but it is nice to have basic version, even it does a lot of mistakes. You could add features, like repetition elimination, or you can check the compete chatbot: http://www.jezuk.co.uk/cgi-bin/view/software/whereskal.

Sorry, again case that last moment fix does not work, capitalize does not only capitalize first letter like I thought:

'tony Veijalainen'.capitalize()
'Tony veijalainen'

Also made to check for stupid 'me am' mistake from reflection:

>I think you are computer!
But you're not sure me am computer?

and fixing it. Here the functions again.

def translate(this):
    """take a string, replace any words found in dict.keys()
        with the corresponding dict.values()

    """
    return ' '.join(reflection_of[word] if word in reflection_of else word
                    for word in this.lower().split()) 

def cap_first(word):
    return word[0].upper() + word[1:]

def respond(sentence):
    """ find a match among keys, last one is quaranteed to match. """
    for rule, value in compiled:
        match = rule.search(sentence)
        if match is not None:
            # found a match ... stuff with corresponding value
            # chosen randomly from among the available options
            resp = random.choice(value)
            # we've got a response... stuff in reflected text where indicated
            while '%' in resp:
                pos = resp.find('%')
                num = int(resp[pos+1:pos+2])
                resp = resp.replace(resp[pos:pos+2], translate(match.group(num)))
             # fix munged punctuation at the end
            if resp.endswith('?.'): resp = resp[:-2] + '.'
            if resp.endswith('??'): resp = resp[:-2] + '?'
