This was an absolute blast to figure out. I sent the description and Wiki article to a friend who said, and I quote, "my eyes are glossing over, what am I reading".
That being said, it took me like 3 days of work because I wrote the encoding function first, it passed the test suites, and then I realized different alphabets were a requirement. As usual, since I've only been learning Python for a little over a month, my solution is messy as can be.
OP solved it, closing
Yep brute force should time out. You need to come up with a faster solution.
Python added
upd: just realized it was not for me, sorry
You could submit a translation if you want.
i can't see the comment because it's marked as a spoiler
edit: after replying to the comment i can see it now? interesting. i'll do some googling, thanks!

Excellent kata!
Its possible to add py translation by anyone who has enought honor and skill.
Unfortunatelly, my py skill is low.
added wiki links
Would it be possible to have Python added for this as well? I already went and wrote a solution for it without realizing I couldn't try it out haha
