fast way of turning a list of integers<256 into a string

[Andrew Thompson]

I would try something along the lines of

import array
array.array('B',range(1,255)).tostring()

Hi
everybody has one shot free.
Here is mine one:
>>> text=reduce(lambda x,y:x+chr(y),range(32,128,1),'')
>>> text
'
!"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdef
ghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~\x7f'
>>> 
regards
Peter
