Same here!

well i learned a new word smart aleck thank u :)

i dont remember why but that syntax is not difficult at all. so i think its worth trying

Brilliant! Thanks man, I learned a lot :)

I used the stupid dynamic programming here...

Just assigning the function to another... Brilliant.

exactly same to mine :)

Is there any advantages of using only consecutive ifs, not if and elif statements?

@Blind4Basics I see. Got it. I didn't think about inheritance. Thank you.
@Mrtopuh Yes, after writing code, I could know that it's not much shorter when using isinstance.

DON'T HARDCODE yourself, my friend.

how about this?

from string import ascii_lowercase as LOWERS

CODES = {c: i+1 for i, c in enumerate(LOWERS)}

Hard coding exploits you inside.

str itself is a Sequence in Python, so just use aeiou, not as a list. :)
