Space issue in Secret Message Challenge

Question

I have been trying to get this to work for days but can't get this to work with spaces in a sentence. I have tried splitting the input but the join method keeps failing. Any help would be appreciated.

import string

phrase = str(input())

sentence = string.ascii_lowercase

key = dict(zip(sentence,sentence[::-1]))
key[" "]=" "

print("".join(map(key.get,phrase)))

Answer 1

Mmm. What about using conditions to determine if the char is a space or not?

Btw, try to put the space = space line before the key dict line and give it a try!
