It's a little bit disorganised, but it's my first attempt.
What do you guys think I should do to improve?
Code:
# Beginning code
def encrypt():
print "This is a small school project for encrypting text via Python."
# Input questions
text = raw_input("Enter the text you would like to encrypt: ")
key = input("Input value key: ")
# Accumulator
lstmsg = ""
for j in text:
lstmsg = lstmsg + chr(ord(j) +key)
# Output for the encrypted message
print "[" + lstmsg + "]"
