from string import maketrans
##Creating the Method##
#First, lets make a string of the alphabet.
FromABC = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
#Because we know that every letter has to go down 2, Make another alphabet string starting with c, and ending with b
ToCDE = 'cdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzab'
#And from these 2 strings, we can make a method. maketrans calls both strings like this: (Before, After)
#Basically, The first letter in FromABC will be replaced with the first letter in ToCDE.
#This is the same for the second letter and so on.
DecryptionMethod = maketrans(FromABC, ToCDE)
#Now we need a string with the text that will be translated.
