How can I convert a character to a integer in Python, and viceversa?

Question

I want to get, given a character, its ASCII value.

For example, for the character a , I want to get 97 , and vice versa.

Answer 1

Use chr() and ord() :

>>> chr(97)
'a'
>>> ord('a')
97

Answer 2

97

ord and chr

Answer 4

For long string you could use this.

 ''.join(map(str, map(ord, 'pantente')))

Answer 5

Not OP's question, but given the title How can I convert a character to a integer in Python ,

int(num) <==> ord(num) - ord('0')

str(char) <==> ord(char) - ord('a')
