>>> from pyenigma import enigma
>>> from pyenigma import rotor
>>> print(rotor.ROTOR_GR_III)

    Name: III
    Model: German Railway (Rocket)
    Date: 7 February 1941
    Wiring: JVIUBHTCDYAKEQZPOSGXNRMWFL
>>>
>>> engine = enigma.Enigma(rotor.ROTOR_Reflector_A, rotor.ROTOR_I,
                                rotor.ROTOR_II, rotor.ROTOR_III, key="ABC",
                                plugs="AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX")
>>> print(engine)

    Reflector:
    Name: Reflector A
    Model: None
    Date: None
    Wiring: EJMZALYXVBWFCRQUONTSPIKHGD

    Rotor 1:
    Name: I
    Model: Enigma 1
    Date: 1930
    Wiring: EKMFLGDQVZNTOWYHXUSPAIBRCJ
    State: A

    Rotor 2:
    Name: II
    Model: Enigma 1
    Date: 1930
    Wiring: AJDKSIRUXBLHWTMCQGZNPYFVOE
    State: B

    Rotor 3:
    Name: III
    Model: Enigma 1
    Date: 1930
    Wiring: BDFHJLCPRTXVZNYEIWGAKMUSQO
    State: C
>>> secret = engine.encipher("Hello World")
>>> print(secret)
Qgqop Vyzxp

As a program

Install pyEnigma system wide with pipx:

$ pipx install pyenigma

Then you can use the command line interface:

$ echo "Hello World" | enigma ABC A  I II III "AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX"
Qgqop Vyzxp

$ echo "Qgqop Vyzxp" | enigma ABC A  I II III "AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX"
Hello World

If you want to display the rotor output state:

$ echo "Hello World" | enigma ABC A I II III "AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX" --verbose
Qgqop Vyzxp
KBC A I II III "AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX"

The state is returned on stderr, so you can still use the Unix pipe mechanism:

$ echo "Hello World" | enigma ABC A I II III "AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX" --verbose | enigma ABC A I II III "AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX"
KBC A I II III "AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX"
Hello World
