Hi all,
Under python 2.6, chr() "Return a string of one character whose ASCII
code is the integer i." (quoted from docs.python.org)
Under python 3.1, chr() "Return the string of one character whose
Unicode codepoint is the integer i."

I want to convert a ASCII code back to a character under python 3, not
Unicode.

How can I do that?

Just use chr().

ASCII (7-bit) is a subset of ISO Latin-1 (7-bit), which is a subset of Unicode's
Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP, original Unicode, 16-bit) which is a subset of
Unicode (21-bit).

Uhm, I meant to write that ISO Latin-1 is 8-bit. Sorry. Keyboard gremlin.

Or, if you want a bytes object, just use the bytes constructor:

>>> bytes([65])
b'A'
