• Install package pycipher with

  pip install git+git://github.com/jameslyons/pycipher

• Set up and use as in sample below (which contains an alpha to num and num to alpha functions for
     help in conversion of ringstellung and window settings.
  

import pycipher
import string


def num_to_letter(nums):
   """
   Convert number of alphabet to characters
   :param nums: list of numbers, 1 based
   :return: list of letters
   """
   alpha = string.ascii_uppercase
   alst = []
   for num in nums:
       alst.append(alpha[num - 1])
   return alst

def letter_to_num(letters):
   """
   Convert letters of alphabet to numbers
   :param letters: list of letters
   :return: list of numbers, 1 based
   """
   alpha = string.ascii_uppercase
   nlst = [ ]
   for letter in letters:
       nlst.append(alpha.index(letter) + 1)
   return nlst

if __name__ == '__main__':
   se = pycip = pycipher.Enigma(settings=('Q', 'U', 'O'),
                           rotors=(5, 3, 1),
                           reflector='B',
                           ringstellung=('L', 'D', 'H'),
                           steckers=[('M', 'Z'), ('N', 'S')])

   print(se.encipher('ENIGMA'))
   se.reset_settings()
   print(se.encipher('GVYWHF'))

Output:
GVYWHF
ENIGMA
