The :class:`~m209.converter.M209` class allows you to experiment +with all moving parts of an M-209, including encrypting and decrypting +messages. Keep in mind there is a higher level class, StdProcedure, that +encapsulates all the steps of the standard encrypting and decrypting +operations, including generating indicators and placing or removing them from +messages. However if you need lower-level access or you are inventing your own +procedures, you would use the M209 class directly. + +.. class:: m209.converter.M209([lugs=None[, pin_list=None]]) + + The ``M209`` class takes the following optional arguments. + + :param lugs: either a lug settings list or string as per :meth:`set_drum_lugs` + :param pin_list: a list of six strings each formatted as per :ref:`pin-settings` + +``M209`` objects support the following methods. + + .. method:: set_pins(n, effective_pins) + + Sets the pin settings on the specified key wheel ``n``. + + :param n: an integer between 0-5, inclusive. Key wheel 0 is the + left-most wheel and wheel 5 is the right-most. + + :param effective_pins: an iterable of letters whose pins are slid to + the "effective" position (to the right). See :ref:`pin-settings`. + + .. method:: set_all_pins(pin_list) + + Sets all key wheel pins according to the supplied pin list. + + :param pin_list: must either be ``None`` or a 6-element list of strings + where each string element is as described in :ref:`pin-settings`. + If ``None``, all pins in all key wheels are moved to the ineffective position. + + .. method:: set_drum_lugs(lug_list) + + Sets the drum lugs according to the given ``lug_list`` parameter. + + If ``lug_list`` is ``None`` or empty, all lugs will be placed in neutral + positions. + + Otherwise, the ``lug_list`` can either be a list or a string. + + If ``lug_list`` is passed a list, it must be a list of 1 or 2-tuple integers, + where each integer is between 0-5, inclusive, and represents a 0-based + key wheel position. The list can not be longer than 27 items. Only lug + bars with lugs in non-neutral positions need be listed. Lug bars with one + lug in a non-neutral position are represented by a 1-tuple. Bars with + 2 non-netural lugs are represented as a 2-tuple. + + If ``lug_list`` is passed as a string, it is assumed to be in key list + format as described in :ref:`lug-settings`. + + Example:: + + m = M209() + m.set_drum_lugs('1-0 2-0*2 0-3 0-5*3 0-6 2-4 3-6') + + # or equivalently + m.set_drum_lugs([(0, ), (1, ), (1, ), (2, ), (4, ), (4, ), (4, ), (5, ), (1, 3), (2, 5)]) + + + .. method:: set_key_wheel(n, c) + + Set key wheel ``n`` to the letter ``c``. + + :param n: an integer between 0-5 where key wheel 0 is the leftmost key wheel, + and 5 is the rightmost + :param c: a 1-letter string valid for key wheel ``n`` + :raises KeyWheelError: if ``c`` is not valid for wheel ``n`` + + .. method:: set_key_wheels(s) + + Set the key wheels from left to right to the six letter string ``s``. + + :raises KeyWheelError: if any letter in ``s`` is not valid for the corresponding key wheel + + .. method:: set_random_key_wheels() + + Sets the six key wheels to random letters. + + :returns: a string of length six representing the new key wheel settings + + .. method:: get_settings() + + Returns the current key settings. + + :returns: a named tuple of ``(lugs, pin_list)`` representing the current + key settings. ``lugs`` will be in string format. + + .. method:: encrypt(plaintext[, group=True[, spaces=True]]) + + Performs an encrypt operation on the given plaintext and returns the + encrypted ciphertext as a string. + + :param plaintext: the text string to encrypt + :param group: if ``True``, the ciphertext string will be grouped into 5-letter + groups, separated by spaces + :param spaces: if ``True``, space characters in the input plaintext will + automatically be treated as ``Z`` characters. Otherwise spaces in the + plaintext will raise an ``M209Error``. + :returns: the ciphertext as a string + + .. method:: decrypt(ciphertext[, spaces=True[, z_sub=True]]) + + Performs a decrypt operation on the given ciphertext and returns the + decrypted plaintext as a string. + + :param ciphertext: the text string to decyrpt + :param spaces: if ``True``, spaces will be allowed in the input ciphertext and + ignored. Otherwise space characters will raise an ``M209Error``. + This is useful if the input ciphertext is in 5-letter groups, separated + by spaces. + :param z_sub: if ``True``, ``Z`` characters in the output plaintext will be + replaced by space characters, just like an actual M-209. + :returns: the plaintext as a string + +Example: + +>>> from m209.converter import M209 +>>> m = M209() +>>> m.set_drum_lugs('1-0 2-0*2 0-3 0-5*3 0-6 2-4 3-6') +>>> pin_list = [ +...
