Excellent! It doesn't require str.join.

`.translate` does all the string at once, it doesn't require analysis and synthesis. :-)

As usual, I learned something new by analyzing your solution :)

You have used the same idea as I did but implemented it better. Nice!

nice, very similar to <a href="https://py.checkio.org/mission/caesar-cipher-encryptor/publications/leggewie/python-3/first-translate/">my solution</a>.

Yeah, you just forgot you can import specific things (and even name them), not just whole truckload. :-D

Here is where I learn that you can Import whenever you want in the code! Thanks again Veky :)

And I am wandering... Is there any case where it is better to do it at some point instead of the beginning?

Sure. See e.g. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/128478/should-import-statements-always-be-at-the-top-of-a-module">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/128478/should-import-statements-always-be-at-the-top-of-a-module</a>
