with rot13 the code does
not compile. The receiver can undo the rot13 to run the
code and they has it in clear code.

=========> "sparse is better than dense!"
In the olden days there actually a was
a FORTRAN
program UNPRETTY that did the opposite of PRETTY.
The purpose of UNPRETTY was to generate code that
would result
in the same numerical results and formatting, but
that would be
more difficult to adapt or translate to another
language.
=========> In Python 2 you can use rot13 encoding to
obfuscate code. This is legal, for instance:
# -*- coding: rot13 -*-
qrs fbzrShap(*netf, **xjnetf):
cevag("Uryyb jbeyq!")
fbzrShap(1, 2, 3)
