useful values

This file will be used, as the name suggests, to store useful values and strings so that I don't have to keep recreating them from scratch every time.  Examples include strings, dictionaries, lists, and intitialization commands that I keep using over and over again.

Alphabet with numeric values:
alphabet = {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3,'d':4,'e':5,'f':6,'g':7,'h':8,'i':9,'j':10,'k':11,'l':12,'m':13,'n':14,'o':15,'p':16,'q':17,'r':18,'s':19,'t':20,'u':21,'v':21,'w':23,'x':24,'y':25,'z':26}
