python实现换位加密算法

def     translationCipher(msg,key):
            result = [""]*key
            for i in range(key):#把每一列元素按照顺序相加组成新的字符序列
                pointer = i
                while i<len(msg):
                    result[pointer]+=msg[i]
                    i+=key
            return ''.join(result)

def     main():
        print translationCipher("hello,world",4)#以4个字母为一行进行换位加密
if      __name__=="__main__":
        main()
