A code eval challenge solved some other way

codeeval_asciidescription.py

# A side-step solution because I was too lazy to find the repeated word...
# It find the most common letter, but exclude ' ', which is the lowest value and is often more common than 'e'

import sys
from collections import Counter
with open(sys.argv[1], 'r') as test_cases:
    for test in test_cases:
        vals = map(int, test.split('|')[2].strip().split(' '))
        m = min(vals)
        e = Counter(v for v in vals if v != m).most_common(1)[0][0]
        print ''.join(chr(i - e + ord('e')) for i in vals)


# Come to think of it, there is a good chance that ' ' is always here, and that this can therefore solved quite easily...
