I tought I'd share my tool which translates morse code to ascii and ascii back to morse code, use it how you like and take what you want.
usage: morseTranslator.py [-h] (-m MESSAGE | -f FILE) (-d DECODE | -e ENCODE)
(Python 2.7.5)
As always you are more than welcome to give feedback and share your improvements
