You've listed a method of accomplishing something, but you didn't really 
specify specifically what you're looking to do. Assuming you want to 
iterate over each of the uppercase letters or pull letters out by 
offset, I would probably utilizing indexing or iteration rather than 
chr/ord conversions, ala:

    import string
    string.upper[i]

    for letter in string.upper:
        do_something_with_letter(letter)

Keep in mind though, this all has a very "ASCII-centric" code smell to 
it. If you reply back with more details on what you're trying to 
accomplish, we might be able to give you a more general purpose solution.
